Some team members wanted this for the longest time! So that we can share and interact more directly with you all, email is to silod off and sending a newsletter with draft designs seems unnatural as well, reddit is to public and twitter not conversational enough.
### Get Involved in Portmaster Development Through Discord
So Discord will be the place were we will share:
- Pictures of upcoming designs
- Do poles on ideas
We are passionate about sharing and interacting without more directly and Discord finally gives us this option - Some team members wanted this for the longest time!
Email is too siloed and sending a newsletter with draft designs seems unnatural as well, Reddit is too public and Twitter not conversational enough - so this is why we landed here.
Discord will be the place were we will:
- Post upcoming designs
- Do polls on ideas
- Share concepts for new features
- Ask for feedback

There will also be a place for the community to help each other, we as a team will also be in there, but we are currently very busy working on the Portmaster. By bringing you together we hope you get help faster.

We thought about other alternatives, but settled on Discord, it is what most people already got.
We also thought about other platforms, but settled on Discord as this is what most people already have. We want to be present where you already are, not invite you to yet-another-platform.
So often when I tell people to vote for the Portmaster on alternativesto.net the answer is, no I dont want to create a new account. Well on Discord you dont have to, most got it already.
Sometimes when I ask people to vote for the [Portmaster on alternativeto.net](https://alternativeto.net/software/portmaster/) ([or the SPN](https://alternativeto.net/software/spn--safing-privacy-network/)) the answer is: "No, I don't want to create a new account." I totally understand. This is the nice thing about Discord - many of you already have it.
For those who dont want to install their software, rest assured, discord works great via the browser no install required.

We are not sure if we can handle this sort of community, as we are focused on developing the Portmaster.
We are not sure if we have the capacity to manage this sort of community, as we are focused on developing Portmaster.
Some of you already volunteered to help moderate the community and we appreciate this a lot!
But if this turns out to not work as intended we will close this server again.
### Special Areas for Portmaster Supporters
If you support our work we want to hear your voice loud and clear. This is why we will add an integration into the Safing account area, so you can tell us that you are a customer and want to get into those Discord rooms.
If you support our work, we want to hear your voice loud and clear. For this, we are working on giving you the option to "link" your Discord ID in your Safing Account. This will give you access to private Discord rooms with even better access to the Safing team.
In those rooms you can help us in deciding where to expand the SPN next and give feedback on speed.
Some parts of the team already said they will mainly focus on those channels.
In these private rooms you can ask questions, discuss ideas with the team and ask for help. You can also help us to decide where to expand the SPN next and give feedback on speeds around the globe. Some of the team already said they will mainly focus on those channels.
