Write about at least one of these smaller groups that you are a part of, including who is in the group, how long it has existed, how new people are invited into the ‘space’, and what is shared there.

A group I am a part of is a FIFA/now eaFC chat on Discord. The group is small but not super small it has around 3k people in it. The people in the group are fifa players who are looking to build up their team, trade players, see what players to buy in the market, best chem links for the game, and find pro club players for their team. It has existed for 2 years it updates every game. New people are invited through Reddit where they post the link. What is shared right now is the best squad build challenges to update your team since EaFC is new and all of our teams have been reset. But usually what is shared are prices on the market that have changed for the top players.
Write about some of the differences between using a ‘platform’ and our open shared computer server. The most obvious difference is using a GUI vs text user interface, so if you describe that, add new information that is not immediately obvious:
The difference is it is harder to join our shared computer server since a password is needed to be invited into it. Unlike a platform, if you receive the link you can usually automatically join the group. Sometimes on platforms, you needed to be accepted. This also makes another difference because our charred computer server is much smaller than most groups on platforms. Try out at least 3 programs on the server and write about using them separately. For each one, describe its purpose, how you used it, and its strength or limitations as a program. You are also welcome to include info on how it could be improved as well: I used the adventure program I enjoyed it. I liked how it had instructions on how to use the game. Also, it gives hints. When using it I didn’t use hints so I found myself at the end of the road many times. I liked how it gives you a ranking when you quit the game. I was just a bit confused about how to get to the cave. The arithmetic program is easier to use you just add or subtract the numbers and give the answer. Although I think instructions should be added or a description that you are being timed. I first I thought the problems were never-ending and was confused about the purpose. I also didn’t know how to quit the game. I also tried the go-fish program but it didn’t let me get out of the instructions. So I tried it without saying yes to the instructions. When I did that the game ran smoothly. The game gives you a hand and you ask for a specific number if the other player doesn’t have it gofish is said.
