One of the best perks we offer to paid subscribers is the opportunity to join The Downballot’s private Discord server—the nerdiest and friendliest place to discuss elections anywhere on the internet. If you’re not familiar with Discord, think of it like a group of chatrooms, with different rooms (or “channels”) for different topics: downballot elections, general political chatter, international news, sports, and more. If you’ve ever used Slack, it’s very similar, but even if not, it’s easy to get the hang of. And of course, we have a dedicated channel for following the returns on election night, which is where everyone will be gathering tonight. The most important thing to know, though, is that access is strictly limited to folks with paid subscriptions. That means it’s a chill, polite, and very funny hangout—and one we moderate carefully to make sure it stays that way. If you’d like to join in on the fun, just upgrade today.

A coworker tells you their salary in confidence—and proves everyone else is underpaid. Do you share it?

A coworker privately tells you their salary and asks you not to repeat it. You later realize the figure is strong evidence that several equally experienced colleagues are being underpaid.

When does fairness outweigh a promise of confidentiality?
