Hey y'all. I'm looking for a group to join for word sprints -- anyone involved in one that would accept another person?

I've had great success in the past doing word sprints with my regional NaNo group, but this year my calendar seems to be conflicting with all of their events -- AND they're using Discord, which I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get into with all the hoops they want you to jump through to prove you're a kind and sentient being. I can handle Slack, and of course Zoom, but Discord just put my nerves on edge. And seriously -- there were 365 people already signed into the event I managed to log into (but not get accepted to participate in, grr, whatever!) But with that many people involved, I didn't think it would be worth it. 365?? Past events were like 10-15 people tops! I even sent a message to the regional liaisons (is that what they're called?) who were in charge of the event and told them that I was blown away by how many people were participating. They didn't respond to me. I know they're overwhelmed. I was just hoping to get some help.

I should be writing instead of, well, writing this long-winded explanation for why I'm looking for someone to do word sprints with.

Thanks in advance to anyone with advice or a link!
Cheers!
