Maybe I’m just old as fuck, but Discord seems like a medium that’s literally impossible to have a discussion on. It might as well be an endless auto-generated scroll.

Just feels like old school IRC to me. You pop in and out of the conversation like you would an actual in-person conversation.

am also a crumbling ruin
discord is good for instant communication between friends, or small-ish servers built around a purpose
i refuse to engage in high-traffic channels in larger servers because it’s a hellscape of a million different conversations at once

It depends on the size of the discord, ~20 people seems to be about the maximum the format can handle.

Agreed but I feel like that’s not how anyone used it is it?

I’m at least one person using it that way, the Discord I hang out on for a league is like that. Going on like “youtube e-celeb official” is pretty much impossible to follow any sort of conversation.

As an Old, I agree. I tried and it honestly feels like a step backwards. I think Yahoo chat rooms had more meaningful discussions.

It freaks me out… too much sensory input at once. I miss the pre-Reddit era of niche messageboards.

One of the especially cursed aspects of American politics is how liberals get to pretend they’re “leftists”.

Conservatives think John McCain is half-communist.

Liberals think they’re DemSuccs, because they once voted for a guy who said he liked Medicare.

DemSuccs think they’re Revolutionary Socialists, because they once block-walked for a woman who said she wanted to Defund the Police.

Socialists think they’re doing Communism, because they once split the check at lunch.

Communists think everyone they know is a reactionary who is just trying to play it cool until the next counter-revolution, and that any kind of organizing is just an invitation to be arrested or killed.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
