i refuse to use discord; it’s practically spyware
Maybe I’m just old as fuck, but Discord seems like a medium that’s literally impossible to have a discussion on. It might as well be an endless auto-generated scroll.
It depends on the size of the discord, ~20 people seems to be about the maximum the format can handle.
I’m at least one person using it that way, the Discord I hang out on for a league is like that. Going on like “youtube e-celeb official” is pretty much impossible to follow any sort of conversation.
As an Old, I agree. I tried and it honestly feels like a step backwards. I think Yahoo chat rooms had more meaningful discussions.
It freaks me out… too much sensory input at once. I miss the pre-Reddit era of niche messageboards.
I have that feeling looking at Twitch chat sometimes and I’m a zoomer lol
One of the especially cursed aspects of American politics is how liberals get to pretend they’re “leftists”.
Conservatives think John McCain is half-communist.
Liberals think they’re DemSuccs, because they once voted for a guy who said he liked Medicare.
DemSuccs think they’re Revolutionary Socialists, because they once block-walked for a woman who said she wanted to Defund the Police.
Socialists think they’re doing Communism, because they once split the check at lunch.
Communists think everyone they know is a reactionary who is just trying to play it cool until the next counter-revolution, and that any kind of organizing is just an invitation to be arrested or killed.
