Node.js's Discord Roles (Sync)

[ovflowd]

Hey folks 👋 I'm opening this on behalf of @VoltrexKeyva.

Since launching the Node.js Discord server, we’ve set up a few roles to help identify collaborators in the Node.js project. So far, we’ve created:

• Node.js TSC – for members of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee
• Node.js Collaborator – for anyone in the Node.js GitHub organization
• Node.js Ambassador – for officially recognized Node.js Ambassadors

The goal was to keep things simple and avoid making fine-grained distinctions that don’t really apply in a social context like Discord. For instance, I didn’t think we needed a separate “Triager” role, since triaging is something specific to GitHub, not Discord.

@VoltrexKeyva suggested that the roles on Discord should better reflect those on GitHub — specifically proposing that we add distinct roles for Core Collaborators and Triagers.

Personally, I’m neutral on this but feel the current roles are sufficient. That said, I’d love input from the TSC on whether we should adjust the role structure.

FWIW, these roles reflect the descriptions provided in our moderation policy:

Collaborator refers to any individual with configured triage role or higher in any Node.js GitHub organization repository.

TSC refers to the Node.js Technical Steering Committee.

I do agree with @avivkeller here. And since there has been no input from any TSC member, I do believe per lazy consensus seeking they are in agreemeent.

One small @nodejs/tsc bump, and if in another week we don't get any -1, I'll close this issue.
