Clarification:
I know he’s Big Brother’s lackey, but lately I’ve been really lacking communication, apparently I’ve fallen for this hook.
I haven’t been able to find any real-life communication for years now, but I’ve been increasingly reluctant to risk communicating while Big Brother is watching. There are good alternatives to Discord?
I use Discord for a couple things that aren’t available anywhere else. It’s good for what it is. It hasn’t asked me to show ID yet. Maybe it’s obvious I’m an old guy. I dunno.
I feel like there’s an IQ cap on Discord. If you’re above average intelligence and you can’t hide it, you’re not welcome. It’s a chat program and you’re expected to use chat slang. Of course, this varies by server. I’ve been in writing servers where you can be intelligent (and it’s encouraged). I’ve also been in communities where you get warned by mods if your messages wrap on mobile (take more than 1 line). I did not stick around.
I just made my own server right when Discord came out and invited my friends. Very curated, only for us. I am also the lord of it, which is a bonus lol.
Did they take away the ability to make servers? I made one too, but I’m the only account on it. I think my wife may have joined, I dunno. She does a lot more on Discord. Her interests have communities that only exist there, or mostly exist there. I’m not really in them. I’ve dabbled but I’ve never been a full fledged member. And that’s fine. It’s anime stuff. I’m fine being a fan, a consumer, a watcher, occasionally a reader (of the manga). I’m not gonna really create for it. They do and it’s awesome. I just enjoy.
No no, that would be crazy. It didn’t seem to even be a Nitro feature. You can just make a server for free, still.
I don’t use it for anything else than communication while gaming.
This is the way. I always get culture shock visiting public discord servers.
This is the way.
