Bridging Forums (also known as Bridging Nations or simply Bridging) is a Discord server with a casual yet cordial community dedicated to hosting forum-like discussions on history, politics, culture, and more to bond with participants from distinct backgrounds. Founded initially to foster mutually beneficial communications between those in and out of one nation whose people had been long vilified by a repressive ruling regime, it blossomed into a broader effort to show that we as peoples of distinct nations — internationally — are more similar than we are different.
Bridging uses a unique whitelist system to ensure a standard of cordial discourse. Registration is mandatory to fully partake in the server. Further information is given upon one's joining.
The Bridging Forums community serves as a hub of cordial learning in general for wide-ranging, eclectic topics and a cultural exchange between those across the world. It's also made with the idea of genuine and kind-hearted discussions in mind. It's a community that prioritizes forum-esque discussion, a realistic forum for realistic people who want to:
discuss plausible resolves to national nuances via tangible history;
exchange cultures between diverse ethnicities alike, and;
engage in a forum-like, warm-hearted atmosphere for the discussion of oftentimes difficult subjects like politics or philosophy; and so forth.
At Bridging Forums, we consider it imperative to find common ground, both in serious matters like the aforementioned and more lighthearted ones. In addition to our focus on the social sciences and humanities, we have sections of the server dedicated to our unique and shared talents, gaming, music, and even memes, along with a novel discussion prompt in our general chat daily.
INVITE: Come join us in discussing all things history, politics, culture, and more!
An intellectual milieu
Bridging fosters an intellectual space oftentimes difficult to find online. Knowledge in some particular subject is treasured and sharing one's knowledge with others is never frowned upon. With extremism prohibited by the rules, there are no zealots to soil common sense and down-to-earth conversation. A unique role is allotted to undergraduate students and graduate students, and a very special role distinguishing the authoritativeness of educated professionals is available.
Diverse staff backgrounds
Bridging's staff come from a variety of personal, economic, political, and educational backgrounds. The staff team consists of moderators with purposefully diverse perspectives and backgrounds to foster fairness in formal decision-making, with the establishment of the server's rules and even community norms among those decisions made. Those protocols, thus, and the moderators themselves serve in the exclusive interest of the Bridging community.
A multicultural community
Bridging's community varies dramatically in each individual's heritage. Members are present from around the globe and each brings with them their unique knowledge and understanding of world history, politics, and culture. There are roles available for every nationality (and should one not be present for yours upon your joining, you need merely to ask staff to add it).
Relaxing
We take pride in being a cool place to chill in at Bridging. Some of the more technical rules are generally applied liberally except in the express interest of protecting the server's mission and intent; we're generally flexible about which channel you use to post things and so forth. Bridging isn't designed to be a high-stress, high-stakes environment in even the slightest way, and steps are taken to ensure it continues to be a place where any cool person can meet new friends and chill with them.
