Every alpha/zoomer wants to be king of their own little discord server because it's the closest they get to their dream of being an eceleb infuencer faggot like Logan Paul or whatever.
They bait people in from other sites claiming they have some kind of content or info then once they get them in there hit them with a ton of rules and restrictions and channel tiers. Basically a digital cult setup.
There is always some rigid hierarchy of topfag/king>fagsmods>VIPs>regulars>newfags.
If it is a server that offers some kind of content like mods then you want to be in the VIP channels to have access to the good shit since they will not share it with the nobodies.
Newfags basically get hazed and have to cuck and kiss the asses of everyone above them. If there is some kind of argument mods are always going to side with the VIPs over some newfag and everyone will shit on them.
So the goal is to be a mod or VIP so you can be in the mod channels shitting on and laughing at everyone.
In doing that obviously they have to follow the rules and not get banned but they also have to kiss the right asses to get recognized meaning you end up with a bunch of slaves circlejerking and sucking the cocks of the top users. They may need to run around playing games and being supporters or buying shit with actual money for the mods.
For the fags running the place this is a dream come true. Their own demiplane where they are a god with a bunch of sheep slaves.

Advancing in these cults can take months so the cultists also have sunk cost fallacy working on them where they eventually become terrified of leaving or getting demoted because they've wasted so much time and effort here.
It's like the worst aspects of a cult, high school, and corporate job all rolled together.
I avoid that shit hole like a plague, nothing is worth going there. That's before you even mention the other major issues with grooming and predators.

>>725392708

Be sure to post it in the future for posterity sake. People need to be aware of what kind of spook level bullshit permeates vidya these days when company mandated discords become the mainstay. Even worse when modding has taken a page out of Bethesda's handbook where everything gets paywalled and doled out on a per customer basis. Anything that can be used to extract value will find itself running through these vectors for wider distribution. Especially they get shutdown and everything goes out with them effectively becoming lost media in the process.

What kind of kinky zip-zoom servers are you faggots joining?
My friends and I have a server that is just a few voice channels for when we're playing games, a channel for posting clips and screenshots, a channel for sharing music, and another for bots.
The only reasons I made the server are because steam voip is atrocious and every discord seems to be infested with troons and brownoids. Think you're in a good server? It won't last because the mods are too pussy to ban the commies and niggers.

That being said discord really is the worst, it goes hand-in-hand with matchmaking. Everyone is in their own private little community, myself included. Gone are the days you'd meet cool people in community servers. Most games won't even let you party up, you just get a fresh team and opponents every game.

Half of this is because of how draconian game devs are now. I play Turtle WoW and every single guild has their own Discord they strongly recommend you communicate in because the devs can and HAVE banned people for saying politically incorrect shit in guild chat. You flat out can't joke around and call people retards and homos in game anymore, it's not allowed.

Tim Heidecker built up an entire reputation by consistently being behind multiple layers of irony where you didn't know what was even the real version of him as if he was some modern day Andy Kaufman. He wasn't even that funny but at least he kept up a shtick.

Then he fucked it all up and showed his real self just so he could bitch about Trump on twitter and elsewhere like every other celebrity.

>Why do people join public servers?
Per the OP you get baited into them in many cases by indie devs. They will tell you things like "For FAQs, instructions, update schedule, early updates, and mods come to our heckin comfy discord server" and it is basically the only way to access that content. They're increasingly used as a replacement for wikis, websites and forums.

I don't give a fuck about Sam Hyde. If Tom wanted to keep his whole shtick he should have not sperged on his genuine opinions on politics at all or just done so as a joke like campaigning for Jeb Bush on election night way after he dropped out.

It's been going on for quite a while now, even before discord existed, back then people used ventrilo or teamspeak

I was trying to play ffxi- a mmo and people in the end game part kept asking me to "just jump on 'vent', it's easier"

No, nigger, I am not joining your stupid server where you have your "cool kids" club. I have next door to zero interest talking to random fuckers online while I'm trying to play a videogame. If something requires teamwork, then type out your strategy and work like that. If a game doesn't have built in voice chat then stop trying to force it.

I don't understand these people either. It really gets on my nerves. I recently tried to play again, and the same schtik, but this time discord instead of vent/ts

Some forums can be similar yes depending on how they are set up but it is less common.
Main difference is visibility, access, and speed of communication. You can access most forums and subreddits without an account and still generally get what you need also the public can see most of what is happening. Even if you do need an account it is easier to be a lurker than on discord where your movements are more announced to everyone, often times you have people jumping all over you the minute you join a discord server. Forums might require a couple posts for downloads or such but that is still usually not a massive investment.
The chatroom nature of discord where people communicate in real time also makes it much more personal. It's much easier to pressure people in the moment or get them to do something stupid than in a forum where replies take minutes or hours and people can think over their replies, do research, and be more professional or sensible.
Discords are also quicker and easier to make so you have an even lower bar for administration.
It combines all the worst aspects of forums, chatrooms, dms, and reddit.

Nice faggot strawman. Nobody is saying what you are pretending they are. The EXPLICIT criticism is that Tim shouldn't have gotten into politics at all regardless of his true beliefs.

The reason his whole shtick worked is because it's layers on layers of irony and sperging about an actual genuine political opinion whether it was "ORANGE MAN BAD" or "VOTE TRUMP" ruins it. And is also pointless because nobody is going to change their political opinions based on what one of the retards from Tim & Eric thinks. So he fucked up his whole gimmick for no reason besides getting emotional about Trump politics.

The screen cap is right and it sucks. I remember even in 2010 before smart phones became a thing, the internet was much different than today. It still had the old internet feeling to much of the site's.

Then the smart phone came out, a super computer that you can take everywhere. We ruined it.

Look at YouTube, probably the best tool ever created if you are trying to teach yourself something. I have learned countless skills from it. What did the normies do? Turn it into cancer with 1pnsecond videos that fry their own brains.

nta but joining a server isn't the problem, the problem is that discord's search is fucking awful and you can't just bypass it with google like you can with reddit. the modern equivalent to "guy on a forum who had the exact same problem as you but posted 'nvm fixed' without explaining how" is "guy in a discord who had the exact same problem as you but his question got drowned out by a bunch of twelve year olds spamming gifs"
if you try to ask the question yourself some mod or community volunteer or whatever goes "ugh...THIS question again... try checking the pins before you waste our time :eyeroll:" and then you have to scroll through 45 irrelevant meme pins to find the answer

i'm not going to read any of that and tell you what actually true:
discord is a forum and VC combined into one
it is a useful tool
what you are describing is exactly what many old forums also looked like with VIP roles, faggot admins, roody-poos and people taking their participation in the forum way, way too seriously
discord or forum, give people even the smallest amount of power and it goes straight to their head
this image has been around for probably about 20 years for a reason

Things like this are genuinely disgusting and degrade the overall quality of the game, regardless of all else or how 'cheap' the game is. This isn't from a perspective of "discord bad", but rather of artistic vision.

Nah, this post is just zoomer/alpha hate.
I never joined an offical server from a big company, or game, I only joined servers from people I played with IRL, or a community server from people I played online with.
They are all mostly basic servers with a few voice channels and one music/meme posting channel.
It literally is just a modern version of Teamspeak or Ventrilo.
At best you join a community, where some higher ups/veterans have a private channel.
As many other people mentioned before here.
You can't criticize zoomies because some goyslop company has a gulag system where you have to slob on their knob to not get banned, or get acess to content.
Because the majority of the late 90s and early to late 2000s forum was full of gate keeping faggots and circle jerkers, that had their own faggy cliques in these forums.
I could at least understand if you critique it for being CCP spyware, or that it is full of pedos trying to lure children in for their degenerat behaviour.
And even then, the early internet chatrooms and forums were also full of pedos.
The early internet forums were just as bad with people powertripping, white knighting, or gate keeping behaviour.
Especially tech forums are full unfriendly autist that powertrip on their shitty forum titles and priviliges to this day.

Tim and Eric should NEVER be serious. Like if Tim wants to comment on presidential elections it should be something completely stupid like promoting CHENEY 2028 while pretending he doesn't realize Cheney is dead.

The new World of Warcraft expansion is doing this on purpose. Blizzard is purposely making a lot of combat add-ons impossible to work as they used to.

This has pissed a LOT of people off but some think it may be best for the long term health of the game to force players to actually pay attention to the game instead of a bunch of add-on UI numbers and bars and notifications of what to do.

Probably Minecraft? Until hints were added for some things like Nether portals, a lot of it used to be reliant on word of mouth or self-discovery. Complex things like Path of Exile as well, even if it's feasible to reach maps without any documentation, it's still relevant for optimizing.
