✦ Bound by Inclusion — Est. January 2023
A Discord community that isn't trying to sell you anything.
Bangwing IN is a social Discord community for real hobbies and real conversation — run by a small team of Indian teenagers who got tired of servers built for numbers instead of people. No giveaways to keep you here, no dating games, no scams dressed up as events.
What that actually means
Three words get thrown around a lot. Here's what they mean here.
Every Discord server calls itself a community. This one is built on three specific things, not slogans.
A place, not a pitch
A place to share hobbies and interests, sharpen a skill alongside people who care, and build friendships that survive outside the app.
Non-toxic, on purpose
Security, shared trust, and room to be yourself. Not purer than anywhere else — just a team that treats unfairness seriously and acts on it.
Activity forums, not feeds
The heart of the server: dedicated spaces for art, photography, writing and tech, built as a creative outlet rather than another timeline to scroll.
Inside the server
Activity forums people actually post in
Think Instagram or YouTube, sized to a community that actually reads what you post.
We never chased numbers. Three years of simply showing up built a home instead.
Community-run, skill-based
Events people still talk about
No entry fee and no pressure to compete — several of our best events had larger audiences than line-ups.
Knight's Gambit
Nature's Canvas
Pixel Pursuit
She Isn't Alone
By the numbers, honestly

A note from the founder
"I started this because I was tired of the alternative."
"There are a lot of servers out there promising you a family and delivering a sales funnel — giveaways to keep you scrolling, fake urgency to make you join, drama dressed up as community. Bangwing IN doesn't have any of that. It has activity forums, a few hundred people who actually talk to each other, and a team that will genuinely go to bat for you if something feels unfair. That's it. That's the whole pitch."
— Rachit Ranjan, Founder
Before you join
What your first week actually looks like
You join, read the rules if you want to — they are written in plain language, not legalese — and post in the introduction channel. That is the whole obligation. There is no activity requirement here and no role that decays if you go quiet.
Most people lurk for a few days before posting anything. That is normal and nobody will chase you about it.
When you are ready, the eight forums are where things happen: post a photo in Capture, a sketch in Art, a poem in Diary, a clip in Clips. People reply to work, which is the point of building forums instead of one endless chat feed.
Events are announced in #Broadcast before they start, so you will see the next one coming rather than finding out afterwards.
