In a recent undisclosed PVP game that I otherwise enjoy, someone was spawncamping and griefing me (used to that, it happens in that game) and even that griefer kept messaging me to “JOIN THE DISCORD” with a link. Why would I want to join the Discord of someone that is actively griefing me?
This is like stopping cyber bulling 101 and kids need to understand that cutting off contact with an abuser is good.
There’s genuinely cool discord groups (like the Abnormal Mapping and Waypoint/Remap ones), but my brain just works better with something like this. Is this what being old feels like?
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 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.
