Even more so, why would you be on the Discord for something with that many targets on its back. So you can post more epic maymays for people to heckin' sticker?
Its a Steam group that tells you if a game was consulted on. What fucking purpose did the discord serve besides parasocialism and hugboxing?
That's a fair point. I got no rebuttal for it other than something about it being a Discord specifically makes it feel far more "intimate" and prone to odd relationships.
That's a you problem. Discord is just IRC (+ZNC) duct taped to Vent. Nothing is more or less "intimate" about it than platforms we've had for decades. Not that there weren't plenty of odd relationships on IRC.
The significant exception is persistent identity, which I could do without and is the root cause of why modern social platforms are such shit. But on the whole, it really isn't anything new. Unless you actually care about trivial shit like emote reactions.
So it is in fact a significantly different thing than those others and this singular reasoning is in fact exactly what makes it more "intimate" than those others.
every discord replacer software i've tried, privacy-oriented or not, has had absolute garbage to the power of sixteen as its UI. "why does everyone use discord?" has the same answer as "why does everyone use windows?" - the alternatives SUCK.
I can understand it for games that rely heavily on grouping, or an indevelopment project that needs lots of feedback.
Everything else just seems to exist because "it has to have one" and they always end up being a cesspit of degeneracy and grooming, regardless of what the "main topic" is (even if its antithetical to such actions).
I'm sure random guys on a massive discord are providing considerably value and usefulness in such a campaign.
After all, crowdsourcing outrage always ends up with the most accurate and useful information. Never lynch mobbing and virtue signals to prove you are the MOST anti-woke.

Appreciate you clearing that up for me.
You would be better off using the .wins to talk about these things.
I do in fact use this place as my shitpost central, because /b/ just hasn't been the same in years once the porn spammers took over.
This post itself is the best rebuttal. Don't use discord.

Discord is the new Facebook, I think. Sucking ass will not prevent takeover.
Crowdsourcing the effort to identify all these consultancy firms and keep track of their credits without making one guy do all the legwork?
