I definitely identify with your fascination with complex systems. I got involved with Waze when I visited Israel the first time. Now I’m a community leader in Canada. I get more personal reward out of that as a volunteer than my real job. We use Discord as our community hub. Strange to have so much overlap with a stranger on the other side of the world.

Totally!

I'm a huuuuuge Discord nerd. I've been building and managing community servers for 7 years. It took me a long time to get to a place where I could charge for my services, and it has been one of the greatest professional joys of my life to have been contracted by a company to redesign the server they use as their workspace.... don't tell them but I would have done it for free in a heartbeat 😄

Hope you take the bot’s advice and do another AMA. Your story is quite interesting.

Thanks, after reviewing the rules I'm not sure what the issue is, exactly. I think the mods have an issue with the proof I provided. I saw many people show a picture of themselves holding a note, although I'm not sure why that would be better proof than showing an image of a religious text I own. It seems to me that showing I own religious Hebrew texts would be stronger proof than a picture of my face. If you have any insight into what I did incorrectly, I would be appreciative.

I suppose it’s this:

“AMAs should NOT be about:
Common topics. This includes: Your day, your girlfriend, being bored or drunk, weight loss, your opinion on something, your gender identity, your religion, or your psychiatric disorders, needing sympathy or support, etc.“

I’d grant an exemption considering how uncommon your path is, but I’m not a mod. Perhaps they don’t want to open that door.
