I absolutely hate talking in discord servers, it’s so stressful for me
It’s fine as an instant messenger or for hosting voice calls but otherwise i much prefer forums and such
I just can’t follow anything happening on Discord it’s all too fast.
It seems like Discord is catered a lot to making internet friends, which is fine but something I have zero interest in. If that’s all it was used for I couldn’t care less, but I hate that niche communities are increasingly putting information that used to exist on public, easily archivable forums behind the veil of Discord where the signal-to-noise ratio is awful because of the aforementioned internet friend stuff. I get that it’s useful for real-time collaboration, but there’s no need for it to have subsumed the slower-pace activities.
Well, i’m saying it: you can’t/shouldn’t use Discord even for things that are actually convenient/useful to you. It’s killing the internet. Discord is an archdevil of surveillance capitalism. You should even shame everyone who uses it. That IS what I’m going for.
I don’t get how discord is supposed to replace forums… it’s a chat room. It’s incredibly hard to use it as a comprehensive info resource. You have to read everything backwards, as part of some never ending conversation… it’s great for real time coordination, and as a chat room/community hub, by my god the notifications alone And the settings to get them to stop are mind boggling.
