Is there any interest in setting up a Discord server, or even a public-facing Citadel server for Internet based AREDN communication?
I ask because I am new to this idea and would like to find people in my area or nearby to talk to it about in a live-chat environment. I am looking at the possibility of shooting for a REALLY long direct connection IF its possible (it may not be) and have some questions.

Many local groups have implemented different alternatives to facilitate dialogue. Some use groups.io, Mattermost, Mumble, Rocket Chat, IRC Chat, google hangouts, skype or whatever is easiest and most familiar for the local hams to use. There's lots of flexibility to use the best tool for your local needs.
Look up the meaning of the word "discord.'"
To some of your points, discord has fantastic search capability AND the ability to make different "channels" for discussion on specific topics.
The only reasons I would want such a place are:
1. To appeal to more (newer) hams who have no idea that this is even something people are doing,
2. To have a place where people CAN shat frivilously but also find people nearby and have live chats about coordinating setups.
To reiterate, I DO NOT intend to start a chat server for this community. Just trying to gague interest. It does not seem like there is any.
