It's true no amount of optimistic platitudes can mitigate the chaos that a Discord server brings to the table, but I suppose it comes with the territory.

It's probably fine, right? As long as the forums don't go away. It's good to have options. I know there are settings for Discord servers to have threads, but it still feels so congested compared to a forum in terms of being able to organize and archive things. I haven't been a part of any big Discord communities, so I haven't really seen much drama, but it can't be that much worse than forum drama. If people have a way to communicate, they will also have a way to communicate poorly, regardless of the medium.

The real problem of Discord is when resources are hidden there in favor of forums

 

[MrFabulous]

Discord brings drama to every community it touches, clique posting, tmi shit, off-topic shit becoming a bigger part of discussion - keep it retro and get something more civilized like an IRC channel.

Well, below this post. You can see the "Connect with us" and it includes Discord, Bluesky, YouTube Facebook, Instagram and Reddit. So it's pretty inevitable

 

[PrismRed]

I'm impervious to drama so it should be fine for me. Ima just drop by for regular talk when I'm at the office or something.
As long as the forum is still around, I'm down.

Meh, if you wanna use Social Media/Discord on you're Forum, i see no harm in it.
Myself i don't use any SM or Discord type programs <I Talk enough IRL daily when i am at work> So...

But with the People here, it should be fine. and Any people joining just to "Stir the shitpot" as it where, will get a Swift boot off the Server, i would Guess.

Didn't even know there was an official Discord server, might be better than most tbh.

My first and only true experience with discord was entering a server full of minors doing ERP and one of the mods tried to groom me thinking i was a minor and asking me to do "femboy pics for money lol xD UwU". I was tempted to send a picture of my 150kg hairy ass at that time, but i did better and just never used discord again

I didn't know you could that, i had that account for like 1 week and honestly still don't know and sincerely there is so many weird shit in Discord servers that i don't want to look at those spaces and be involved with anything anymore. I also don't live in US, so i don't know what kind of authorities should i contact in those cases.

Fair enough I guess, I also have a Discord account but don't use it for a year.
What you said was the most steriotypical Discord "experience", something so absurd you see it in meme posts, but I guess it's reality! Scary shit...

Never use discord but im assuming its like Reddit but worse?

 

[fake-kun]

You know your common messaging app? Imagine that but each server has individual chats that the subject may vary, and it also allowes voice chatting.

I didn't just get one? these forums came like a year after the discord server?
I only put a link to it cos people asked about it.

Those who like discord use discord,
Those who like the forums use the forums.

No, when did I say that?

Oh so, you made the server before making the site? I'm sorry I tought it was a case of "fan made server, but we endorse it".

Seems kinda redundant if we have forums. Unless its a high traffic amount of messaging i dont see it being useful like this site.

All I'm saying is that I'm being criticized for creating a discord to kill these forums when the discord server existed well before these forums were even made.

And I'm also kinda pissed when people gets to decide what others get to use because they personally don't like something.

Don't like, don't use. Leave the rest do what they want.

Most people on discord won't ever post here, most people here won't touch discord.
Both can exist.

Don't like don't use, don't like don't download. Leave the rest do what they want.

Both get to exist.

Got me feeling like

I'm sorry, that wasn't my intent, I just wanted to get some answers related to the discussion straight from the source.
