Discords can be fun. Though it is more of a chatroom than a forum but that can also depend on the moderation of a particular discord server
I love the idea of a discord. Maybe I'm doing it wrong (and I'm in a bunch) but it's so hard to follow.

Like if I make a reply and don't check back for a day or a few hours, the next time I open discord it doesn't have it where I left off. It's some random point in time.

So I have to hope someone uses the direct reply function or I have to scroll and scroll and scroll and try to find the time area where I said something to see if anyone replied off hand

For all the technical enhancements on display, Motive's decision to make the characters in DSR look like Andromeda NPCs is puzzling

You can search discord for anytime your name is mentioned.

The thing with discord is keep your servers to a minimum. I have two that I frequent. Other that I'm in but don't bother with. It would be impossible to keep up. And then accept you're just going to miss a lot of the conversation. Once you accept that, it's a really fun thing to be a part of.

Oh yeah a ton of Discord channels are very fast going but that also depends on a. the size of a particular discord, b the topic of a channel and c. the rules set for a channel. You can for example make it so that you have to wait for up to 2 minutes between messages which encourages a slower discussion culture.

Discords servers and channels inside those servers can be more like a forum if they are small enough.

I like friend discords. I don't like community discords.

5-10 people is discords prime usability for me.

I am on a few Discord servers, but I mainly only read and use one (Warframe clan). I would actually leave a few, but I hate that everyone on the server will get a notification. I want to leave silently.

I tried to sign up for Discord once, but it wanted so much personal information I bailed.

I can sign onto IRC without an email OR having to hand out my phone number.

Are you sure? I am pretty sure I saw that - it may have been bots.
The main channel will get a bot post saying someone left, but no one is notified of it. If they happen to be in the main channel when you leave, they'll see it. But otherwise nothing. And you're leaving the server anyway, no one will care. People leave servers, especially big ones, all the time with no warning

Is there any way to check bans? There was that kiwifarms site (yeah I know, but it was scraping the ResetEra forum for bans and infractions) but it seems to be gone?

Dixie didn't seem a bad sort..

yeah I just go to their post history and mass open everything, usually it's something not that far back
if you hover over the user you can click messages even if their profile is removed

This is also what I do because I'm too curious/nosy I guess. Like every time I see a banned person I try to hunt down the reason and at times it gets hard.

Also said recently for a different reasons but; shit sux.

This forum isn't a good discussion forum, and hasn't been for quite some time.

Me to the mods:

You all have lost your absolute fucking minds.

Any more of this bullshit after I post will be actioned accordingly.

Leave, stay, do whatever you need to do to prepare yourselves.

It is pretty wild that you can spend years on this forum and then you get perma'ed seemingly because you posted in a thread the mods decided to hit hard.
