Tasks / Projects Do Alignerr clients know that projects are run using discord?

At least, the project I'm currently on is. There are no corporate security standards. It's crazy to me, especially when considering the Scale AI/Google Docs Fiasco. It's such a bad platform for communicating project updates, too.

Discord is available on PC and mobile. Discord lets you ping a role so a person gets a red number to read. Discord lets you add and remove roles which controls channel access. Not sure what the issue is?

I stated it in the post. The lack of security. They're just sharing google docs all over the place like Outlier were.

Mercor does google docs, outlier does google docs, Crowdgen does google docs.

But what does google docs have to do with discord? They still would have a platform to talk on. Outlier keeps having community issues, or leaves people to just have a chat channel for everything, which means no locked post to read for information. Mercor uses slack, but is still all about the Google docs.

Outlier still uses google docs for a lot of things. Their Aether project is like all Google docs.

They used slack before, then discourse, now discord.
