Can't say I've had issues with people being mean... That's probably less down to it being Discord, and more just the community being shitty. Some people just don't like other people.

Being ignored is a pretty common thing though, I find. Again, it depends on the community, but it's more a problem with people in general than Discord, I think. Like, there are plenty of IRC servers that are just ghost towns. The main driver of that, I think, is the lack of purpose or cohesion in a community. Like, I'm in an ex-vtuber's Discord server, and the lack of actual community is blindingly obvious, because the chat's just completely dead until the v-tuber pops in every few months.

Yeah I don't know how that happens. I'm always scared to send a message in a Discord chat, but for some reason posting on here felt super easy and fun (so props!).

Well uuh euuummm, I'm like, the only oldish member who still shows up, so I'm kinda desperate for anyone to talk here, except the occasional bot trying to sell dick pills or some shit~

                  I miss internet forums. The one I practically grew up on in the 00's is just as dead as this one, and it was a much larger website. I waited a long time to get on Discord and I was right to avoid it, because it is just like social media in the compulsiveness and impatience it can cause. Remember to archive these places and save the important parts, or someday it will vanish.

                    ashadowgirl Fingers crossed, hopefully we can bring em back :> So much of social media is theatrical or just memes, I want to actually get to know people if possible

                      ashadowgirl I find Discord to either be just as dead as the forums they replaced, or active to the point where it's impossible to keep up if you have anything else going on in your life.
