From 767b8052e81e60a58887ddef9c9e12415fca3790 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Dale Higgs Around a week ago we started with the first survey. Now 30 people have participated. Thank you very much if you did. We think that's enough time to have some "only partially representative" data. It's hard to tell how many Home Assistant users are out there. Currently there are 215 members in our [Gitter chat room](https://gitter.im/balloob/home-assistant) and last week [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/homeassistant/) counted 5063 downloads.

Currently there are 215 members on our [Discord chat server](https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e) and last week [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/homeassistant/) counted 5063 downloads.
The idea was to anonymously collect some details about the usage of the different parts of Home Assistant and a little bit about the environment its running in.

+description: "The Home Assistant chat community is moving over to Discord."

+---
+
+Communities grow, things change. We understand that some people don't like change, and that is why we are trying to make our chat transition from Gitter to [Discord][discord] as smooth as possible for everyone. Join us now with [just a click][discord]!
+
+Click `Read on →` to find out more about why we're moving.
+
+
+
+### {% linkable_title Easy to join %}
+
+Discord is a very easy platform to join. New users can immediately jump into the conversations without first having to create an account. Just provide your name and you're in!
+
+This is incredibly valuable for us and will make Home Assistant even more accessible than before.
+
+### {% linkable_title Great apps %}
+
+One of our least favorite things about Gitter is the quality of apps that they provide for iOS and Android devices. Discord, on the other hand, has the fastest and most feature-rich mobile apps that we've tried! For those of you who like to post pictures to the chatrooms directly from your phone...now you can. It doesn't stop there; they also provide well-polished clients for Windows, macOS and even Linux. If you're more of a browser-based chat client person, their web client will be perfect for you.
+
+### {% linkable_title Moderation tools %}
+
+We have been quite lucky so far as to not have much inappropriate behavior (spammers, trolls, etc) in our chatrooms. However, as our community continues to grow, this common issue might come up. Discord has the features that will help us shut this behavior down before it gets out of hand.
+
+### {% linkable_title Great multiple server support %}
+
+Do you already have a Discord account? Great, you can use that account to [join in on the conversation][discord] now. One Discord account works with every Discord server, and it is extremely easy to switch between your servers quickly, and even join new ones. Discord messages also work across servers, so your personal conversations are not scoped to a single server.
+
+### {% linkable_title It's hosted %}
+
+We are big fans of self-hosted apps and services, but everyone knows they require a fair amount of maintenance and attention to keep them running smoothly. Discord is hosted on on their own servers, so it's better to let them maintain the service while we keep busy on improving Home Assistant to bring you bigger and better features!
+
+### {% linkable_title Plenty of features %}
+
+Syntax highlighting, voice chats, ability to search chatrooms, private messaging, and even custom emoji! Discord has a great set of features that will keep us all happy for a long time to come. (Pssst...after you join our server, check out the `:ponder:` emoji!)
+
+## {% linkable_title Join us! %}
+
+Are you convinced and ready to make the switch? Join us, we're just [one click away][discord]!
+
+Not convinced? Please take a moment to reach out to us in the comments below to provide your feedback on this change so that we can help making the switch easier for you and everyone else.
+
+## {% linkable_title The fine print... %}
+
+In the process of switching chat platforms we have decided to go ahead and create what we feel is a very fair set of rules for our chat community. As growth continues, these rules might change. Also be sure to check the [#welcome-rules][discord] channel for the most up-to-date rules for our chat server.
+
+### {% linkable_title The rules... %}
+
+#### {% linkable_title Rules: %}
+
+Please carefully read through these rules **before engaging in conversation.**
+
+1. **New members: Welcome!** Start by reading over the [FAQ]. Feel free to introduce yourself, as we are all friends here!
+
+2. If you have a question, please check the [FAQ] and [relevant documentation][docs] before posting.
+
+3. Do not insult, belittle, or abuse your fellow community members. Any reports of abuse will not be taken lightly and **will lead to a ban.**
+
+4. Our moderators are kind enough to volunteer their time to help keep this a great community for everyone. Any inappropriate or unconstructive comments toward or about them **will result in a ban.**
+
