Discord server shutdown

[DrunkOcelot]

If by "fun" you mean "infuriatingly stupid", then I agree.

It has its moments

The former can be fun

If you like every thread being a variation of "this game that is universally loved actually sucks because I said so even though I've never played it" than sure.

To be honest it got out of control in my opinion, i've seen things done that do not represent me. I've always tried to treat people fairly, I didn't always succeed and I'm truly ashamed for that.
I respect all opinions, as long as you don't break the written rules we decided upon I'm happy.

The treatment of some users in that discord wasn't acceptable to me and I can't in good conscience have that going on and do nothing about it. The amount of time it would take to run it as I would like to doesn't exist in my day to day. I can however run this forums much better. So I rather consolidate users here if possible.

Nothing but respect that you make the hard decision of shutting something down that you know you can't maintain with you day to day schedule and where the work you put into it doesn't live up to your own standards. That's responsibility right there.

Damn I joined the discord yesterday night just to snoop around; See if anyone I recognize was there. An bam it’s dead

I know all to well that you only JUSt discovered something.. and then it shuts down. Luckily there will always come something else.. like this place :)

Man's too hard on himself

 

[for.we.are.many]

You weren't *that* bad
like i said, i saw many discord server, that one was on the "good" tier, even on the worse moments
anyway, whats done is done. Nice to see you and some others around here ;)

Nice to see you too!

I was actually referring to /vr/. /v/ is awful too though, it's literally all politics.

Why is this thing a trend btw?

I mean sure, you can not like something popular but acting almighty by implying you're smart "unlike these sheeple who merely follows the trend" is just egregiously pompous.

I thought this could be an exaggeration

Ppl like being contrarians

One of my favorite things to do on 4chan is to go to the origami board /po/ and find a thread no one has responded to. Then, once a day every day, I post a horrific insult to the OP until I get banned. This usually takes a few days.

While I do agree that blindly following trends without any critical thinking is no better I feel that even the "rebel attitude" aimed at teens and young adults from the 90's was meticulously calculated by older people trying to appeal to the younger audience by making them feel unique by throwing away conventions.

It's a natural feeling to want to be unique but if everyone is doing the same then nobody will be.

I remember the sentence "Hating trends doesn't make you an interesting person." which sums it up pretty well.

You dont need to go as far back as the 90s

Somehow my brain deleted that ad. Dude, where's the car?

And this one is still relevant (just swap the word Edgy with "nonconformity")

How many years until Discord loses interest and becomes the next Skype?

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Replace 4chan with twitter
The former can be fun, the latter I cant think of one time the I used it and came back happier

Twitter was negatively affecting my mental health. I was always angry and annoyed after using it even for a while... it likes to bombard you with the most depressing, infuriating shit on the universe.

I can relate hard, it's impossible to talk to people beyond a few shallow interactions because people there are always looking for a petty fight, they'd rather die than concede their viewpoint isn't universal

I had a Twitter. It was alright to the point that I almost considered why people where hating on it again.... until ive met some people. Some of them were okay, meanwhile some... cannot take what I have to say about sandwiches. Plus, the platform was taking away featurez Ive used due to Elon Musk's acquisition, and I've moved to Bluesky. Is it good? Its getting there, but its decentralized network makes the platform a hit or a miss. I remember some Spanish pixel artist on here (I hope they're doing well especially if they mainly speak Spanish which I dont) talking about how hard it is for them to get their pixel art popular like other artists on there but luck isnt working for them, and I believe thats due to the decentralized network that Bluesky has. While I do have a reddit, thats becsuse i just lokk at information when I need to. Otherwise I never touch it. Discord is my home turf and Ive found the goodness that comes with it, 4chan I always think its the next step towards the dark web, and Forums is a hit or a miss.

I've heard bluesky is like 2016 twitter so it sounds even worse than current twitter

I'm sorry, sandwiches?

 

[Yousef]

I'm sorry, sandwiches?

Why, yes of course! You’re a famous sandwich maker, after all! I loved your club sandwich! That’s the good stuff for sure.
(In all seriousness, I don’t get it either, was making a silly post, carry on haha)

You made me hungry ?

No joke, Someone had sent me a sandwich that they've made and ive said that it looked like a low budget school made it but said a compliment afterwards (cause if I showed you the image you would see the same picture) and he was extremely pissed off at my comment. Granted, it would've been rude for me to make that comment, but tbh, its not like Ive had rider remarks coming from him.

 

[for.we.are.many]

Would be merely a fact for me because all my sandwiches look like low budget school ones

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

That's odd... but at the same time, I kinda get it.
