The Coalition
The Coalition is a large, highly organised Discord-based community originally founded in 2019 and later revived under Syracuse. Built around a network of memberstates and crownstates, it acts as a central hub for the modern raiding community, bringing together raiders, programmers, investigators, designers, writers, recruiters and community leaders under one organisation.
Unlike the usual Discord group that survives for three weeks before its owner has a nervous breakdown and deletes everything, The Coalition operates more like an actual institution. It has its own administration, memberstate system, development teams, investigations, archives, recruitment structure, media projects and a frankly unnecessary amount of infrastructure for something originating from Discord.
It is known for combining the old raiding scene with a newer generation of communities, preserving years of otherwise-lost internet history while constantly building new projects, tools and organisations around it. At this point it is less a single server and more an entire ecosystem held together by ambition, organised chaos and people taking Discord politics far more seriously than any reasonable person should.
