Maybe I'm just a fucking boomer, but dang, what a radical divergence in culture. Gonna be chauvinistic for a quick second but I'm convinced we made the right decision to stick with this format.

Power to the posters in discord advancing socialism, but that ain't what I saw lol.

    I hated discord until I realized that it's actually a fantastic tech support platform. You can immediately share short videos and screenshots in seconds and use pings etc.

    Now I'm stuck in an endless cycle of helping children learn how to use Blender to animate Roblox music videos to ask the girl they like to prom (send help)

        That's just always what the majority of questions are about. Usually some simple question of "how do I move the black dots?" Follows by a screenshot about 10 minutes later of a roblox character inside a default cube

      FUCKING EL OH EL.

      Yes, it's great for me cause I have tech friends that help me with all my questions and are fun to game with, but my god, not have 1000+ people be part of any semblance of a political discussion.

        They think we are tankis? This means the tankies of the discord lost the majority and are hencefort to be called meneshiwiki. Sad, I hoped the discord would remain more true to the party line.

      I only saw a little, but to put it nicely, I don't think there's any reason to go back.

        A person poor-shamed me, telling me it is bourgeoisie to go out holding the same drink for 6 hours, as it is bourgeoisie to consume goods you can't afford.

          😬

          What was the rest of the servers reaction?

          Were people dunking on them? Agreeing with them?

          Or did it just kind of get ignored?

            Nothing happened to them, people ignored and my @ at one of the channel mods wasn't answered within a couple of days.

          Discord is new and scary and confusing, our cyber division is tragically inexperienced

    I don't know anyone can keep track or conversations on there, they move too fast. I'm not even old and I even work in the tech sector but when it comes to discord and twitch I am a big ole boomer

    i'll be honest with you, i literally only use the meme thread, but the veiw i get from there is always pretty good (by which i mean i can steal their memes and seem funny to people i know)

      There's a very old one called Dirtbag HQ, and there's the one that people here used as an "ark" when the sub was banned, which I just checked and it's now called "John Brown Liberation Society"

      DBHQ has cooler vibes and people than the ark discord. Their culture there helped calm me the fuck down about politics (you know when you're new to the left all you want to talk about is politics'n'shit) and actually learn to be fairly normal and nonsectarian with a variety of different folks.

      Also they scared Virgil Texas off the server the one time he joined to "talk with the fans"

    Just don't use the general chat, I only use news, train-gang and meme and I can catch up on those pretty well. Plus the general chat is just drama.
