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.

Appreciate you clearing that up for me.
The "only pretending to be retarded" routine is wearing thin.
There is no pretend. I said it felt more intimate, you provided the reason (persistent identity) in better words for me.
Sarcasm isn't faking retardation, its poking fun at you for admitting my point was valid while trying to explain that it wasn't.
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.
I agree. Look how propagandized T_D gets, for example. It's still light years ahead of Discord though. Discord is troon central.
This post itself is the best rebuttal. Don't use discord.
