And why is the discord not pointing people to this site??
They kinda did while development was going along, and I think most people made the transition (apparently not though).
I know some people genuinely prefer the discord which is fine (though they're still insane lol), and so that probably dropped off since they don't give a fuck about this place.
Imagine wanting to hang on a corporate platform that can ban us all again whenever
they straight up scrubbed the channel for lemmy discussion lmao
I can't imagine still hanging on the discord. I was just on there until this got launched.
It feels impossible to hold a decent conversation on discord. It moves too fast and people can interrupt.
There were like 150k libs on the old subreddit and only like 9k libs here...
As a percentage, yeah, the number of libs here is comparable to the old sub. But in terms of absolute value, there are far fewer of us here. So it's technically true.
Yo... If people on the Discord don't know about the site what is going on over there? More effort needs to go into making sure EVERY single user on the discord knows about the site.
I left the Discord basically right when we started testing the Lemmy instance, so I have no idea what's going on over there. I assumed it was 100% drama.
It's mostly people's podcast and bookclub now, and some tendency chats (at least that's what I pay attention to...).
oh, so that's where book club went
i read Pedagogy of the Oppressed again, but didn't see a discussion here for it...
best book, very profound, distills marxism down to how to use it in educating those around you
especially important for professional educators
Yeah it's all in the book-club channel. We're doing Marx's Inferno this month (highly recommend, I've gotten to talk to the author and will be sharing a discussion I had with him about the book with the Marxist Education Project at the end).
I am absolutely not going back on the discord....but I will eventually read Marx's Inferno.
Yeah if Jared forgets to make posts I will I guess on !books@hexbear.net .
There's no way they don't know unless they muted the server and never checked. There's been like more than a dozen announcements (each one makes a couple dozen people leave the discord lol, and people consistently link to chapo chat in the different channels)
wow, now that was an absurdly defensive response
what they said is that every single user on the discord should know the site exists. that is absolutely true. what the actual fuck is going on on the discord if it's possible to hang out there and not realize this site exists?
you know, you definitely strike me as the kind of person who prefers the discord
I spent the first couple days on there in glorious stoned and autistic mania. imma be honest I got sucked into the main chat, especially the early push for hexbear on discord, real bad. It was fun in a ridiculous, very online sort of way, but it burned me out; there's a lot of raw information shooting by on there. If I went on, for at least the next hour I couldn't fucking read or do other shit without turning my attention back to it. Eventually I decided to just lay low until this site came around, hopped off discord, and I just bool on here now. Idk the state of it now, but I can't imagine it's the greatest
beyond a certain number of users discord just turns into a completely unmanageable firehose
