 Note: It is challenging to describe crystal clear boundaries for including and excluding particular content, which means the above guidelines are not exhaustive. We expect community members to always exercise their best judgement, with the primary consideration and priority being the health and well-being of the %%FreeBSD%% community.
-If you see something against the rules or that makes you feel unsafe, let us know. We want this server to be a welcoming space!
+=== Trolling and Troll-like Behaviour ===
+Please also note the following definitions of trolling or troll-like behaviour:
+  * Behaviour that is designed to cause an argument, flame war, heated debate, or anything along these lines;
+  * Making unsubstantiated statements or claims without providing evidence, especially when you attempt to claim others should provide the evidence or "Google it";
+  * Making a statement that is obviously false or highly subjective, without providing evidence;
+  * Being obnoxious and attempting to get a "rise" out of another community member with clearly provocative language, statements, reactions, GIFs, etc.
+Trolling behaviour will be treated accordingly by Community Helpers, and may result in being timed out, kicked from the community, or even banned, if warnings are not followed and behaviour isn't adjusted accordingly.
+We want this server to be a welcoming space, so if you see something against the rules or that makes you feel unsafe, let us know. You can reach out to Community Helpers by using the ''%%@helper%%'' role and or using the ''%%#helpdesk%%'' channel under the "HELP & SUPPORT" category. You can also attempt to DM a ''%%@helper%%'', but their personal Discord settings might make this difficult.
+==== How do I use/access Discord? ====
+If you've made the move to %%FreeBSD%% on your desktop/laptop/device, and you're now wondering how you access the %%FreeBSD%% Discord (or just Discord in general), then read on.
+Firstly, Discord does not provide an official build of their official client that runs natively on %%FreeBSD%%. Instead, we have to use one of a few options:
+  - The Discord client via the browser - basically https://discord.gg/
+  - A Electron "wrapper" around the official Discord client
+  - A third-party client (please read the notice/warning)
+=== The Web Client ===
+Using Discord via the web browser is easy: you simply visit https://discord.gg/, login, and you're good to go.
+=== The Electron "Wrapper" ===
+Using the Electron "wrapper" is more involved, but well documented: https://github.com/SrWither/DiscordBSD
+This one is recommended simply because it's the most up to date based on the last commit date.
+=== Third-party Clients ===
+<callout type="info">
+Please note that the %%FreeBSD%% project or Foundation cannot suggest or recommend the use of third-party Discord clients. We cannot guarantee that is permitted under Discord's T&Cs, AUP, and beyond. Please check that your use of a third-party is legal under the terms of service provided by Discord themselves.
+</callout>
+Here is a list of third-party Discord clients, each with their own respective pros and cons, install instructions, and more:
+  - gtkcord4 – [[https://www.freshports.org/net-im/gtkcord4/|net-im/gtkcord4]]
+  - https://github.com/diamondburned/6cord (**deprecated and marked a read-only! Be careful!**)
