Weird thing about Discords for me is I've always ended up ghosting any Discord I join. I always found it a bit hard to keep up with all the conversations. So I personally don't care too much for it unless I'm in a voice chat.

      Saoru Oh yeah, I'm like this as well. Most of the servers I'm in are only in case of some important announcement ^^'

        Saoru yea this is true, i legit am in the same discords i was in since 2016. I try to join another but don't get into it bc it is so established already

            COUPLED Yeahh, there's probably a ton of cool communities out there, but I don't think I could be bothered to delve into them.

                Saoru yea i'm bored i found one i was vibing with but it's not for me. the search continues. I get so bored when no one replies to me

                    COUPLED It's definitely tricky when you come in as an outsider, especially on instant messaging platforms... And when ya don't have much time or energy to sink into new places >_<

                      COUPLED Yeah, agreed. Though it doesn't seem like people generally feel the same v~v

                          COUPLED tbf Discord did a lot of things right. They put together most of the communication tools that people wanted, and made it so that you can access basically any community with one login. But much like with many other things, most people don't seem to see the issue with a centralised system like that until it's too late.

                            I had my breaking point with Discord the other day when I realized they block VPNs altogether (at least I can't log into my account anymore). I'm sick of these websites becoming unusable when you want a little bit of anonymity, so I'm going to just avoid most of the mainstream stuff altogether. (Edit: I may have been wrong about Discord blanket banning all VPNs, maybe it only blocks some. Sorry I was crashing out T_T)

                            But you are right about it being hard to participate in a community when there's just a single #general chat with messages being sent constantly.

                              darpo And I think Twitter now requires a cellphone to make an account too? God it's so bad. I'd rather pretend the Internet is still in early development and these big social media sites don't exist yet. (Edit: and Reddit too! I can't log in to my Reddit account! They expect me to turn off my VPN!)
