| 2019-12-11 | milestone | Ali's recently started Discord server, with channels on studying, podcasts, books and productivity, is where he hangs out; it had 228 people online and, he thinks, over 3,000 members in total. (hedged) | What's on my iPhone 11 Pro Max (2020) 00:10:54 |
| 2020-01-14 | milestone | Ali set up a Discord server a few weeks earlier: it has 259 people online and, he thinks, about 5,000 members, with bots and groups for homework help, studying, podcasts, books, productivity and tech. (hedged) | My Favourite iPad Pro Apps (2020) 00:20:43 |
| 2020-04-29 | setback | Ali started a Discord a few months earlier where a few thousand people swapped homework tips, but it became unmanageable from the sheer number, so he is looking for another way. | Productivity, Books and Careers Advice - Ali Abdaal x Noah Kagan // Deep Dive 01:54:27 |
| 2020-05-05 | setback | Ali's Discord server for his fans had far too many people to keep up with, and he never logged in, as he dislikes how the app works. | My Favourite Mac Apps · What's on my MacBook Pro? 00:17:53 |
