Stop doing Discord
- capitalists were not supposed to own your community
- Years of hanging out yet no real-world use found for sending your private data to be sold to advertisers
- Wanted to leak private data anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that; it was called "turning off ublock origin"
- "Yes please search our chat archive for answers to your question. it will certainly remain up forever and not get deleted when the shareholders realize it's not profitable" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
Look at what discord admins have been demanding your respect for all this time:
- task manager screenshot, discord using 97% of CPU
- discord making too many automated requests and getting throttled
- crash screenshot
"3rd-party client? lifetime ban"
They have played us for absolute fools

I still have a Twitter account.
I haven’t used it in a long while, but there may be something I want to say in front of as many interactors as possible… so there may be a personal value to it for me, at some point… when I get my shit together in a presentable form.
But Twitter wouldn’t be where my stuff “lived,” it would be a mass mailing type of carpet bomb to attract people to “my place,” where they could dig into what I was saying with me.
I have YouTube for the same reason.
Discord seems the same to me. No, it’s not the place to set up your personal camp. But it can be a place to interact with a novelish audience, with the intent to fully interact with those so inclined elsewhere.
