I'm sure a lot of us didn't use it much because it was overwhelming and difficult to follow sometimes, but I know that lots of people loved it, and I'm one of them.

Just feeling reflective and thinking about what lessons can be learned from the whole experience, what we can use going forwards for the betterment of our community, and what we think are things we want to build towards.

I'm so utterly proud of this community, many wonderful things happened on the discord and in the weeks after the sub was banned, so many people came together and worked hard for the betterment of their comrades, we've witnessed a glimpse of the power of our solidarity with one another, and I can't wait to see how far we can go.

I love you all, and you know I mean it <3

      I just can't fucking do it, even if i sat down for like 30 mins and started chatting, I just can't keep up. Coming back online and being completely out a a conversation that feels like it's been going for an hour and you don't want to butt in was also a hard feeling to get over.

      ikd adhd gang couldn't deal other than opening discord on my phone on the shitter and posting "cum" in the fast megathread 3 times daily

        Same here. I found a local discord I like because some channels have just a handful of people posting and all that's I can keep up with

        They just have completely different use cases tbh. Discord is basically a modern version of IRC, whereas sites like Reddit and chapo.chat are like old forums and messageboards. Trying to make one into the other simply won't work.
