Yeah, I thought about trying Ginabot once - but now that I installed Partiko on my phone it's pretty good notifying me anytime I get a vote or comment - so that's enough.
I guess there is still a Steem chat in the hamburger menu on the upper right - I'll have to check it out and see if it's still working.
I've done well enough on Steem without discord, so I wouldn't worry too much about missing out.
