I don't get why /v/ hates this. It's incredibly useful and single-handedly keeps several game communities alive. Its death would be tragic.
They're salty friendless losers
>Its death would be tragic.This line gives away that this is bait. BE BETTER trolls
>>735164785a shitter is also incredibly usefulbut if it clogs up you gotta either push the shit back in or find a different shitterand discord really doesn't want to have its shit pushed in, so best course of action is to let it fester and leave
>>735164931we...

>>735164785They sided with the pregnant woman threatener
i don't understand the hate for discord eitherit's literally just teamspeak/vent combined with a better steamchat
>>735164785>several game communities alive>game communities>communitiesWhat the fuck does that even mean??
>>735164785I prefer mirc and yes I am still using it. Its been 20 25+ years and its still the goat.
How new are you if you're still wondering why "/v/" hates something?
>>735164785It’s less that I hate the app itself and more the people that tend to use it. I mean it’s a hive of pedos and troons.
>>735164785It's very useful in function and for organizing. The problem is the company and moderation. at large, the greater issue is communication in games becoming corporatized and sterile. there is no one single issue with the industry, but a scatter plot of a bunch of different things being enshitified. I imagine it will eventually hit the convergence of shit and someone will finally be motivated to create a new environment, but thats being hopeful. Doing the needful, if you will.

How the hell do you make friends on Discord?Every server you join already has formed clique groups.
I don't outright hate discord but they're fucking delusional if they think i'm giving them my ID, especially after that breach last year
>>735164785Verify your age.
>>735168383Spend a few weeks there. If you are at the same frequency of autism you'll automatically become part of the cabal otherwise you'll be pushed away because you don't fit. It helps when you use discord to actually play video games and not just an excuse to shitpost shitty memes.
>>735165142WUZ
>>735164785The only part about Discord I resent is people moving all their guides and data to it instead of keeping it on forums or searchable on the internet. Making it mandatory or otherwise hiding content in it is annoying and volatile.
>>735164785it's public enemy #1 of 4chan because people can just make their own spaces where they can ban undesirables on site instead of dealing with them for multiple years. this website of course is number one in advocating authoritarianism and shitting its pants when any sort of authoritarianism affects them personally
>>735168369the term "community" is oxymoron and borderline retarded when applied to anything online.a discord server with thousands of members is not a communitya forum is not a communitywhatever type of social media or online activity is not a communitycommunication is asynchronous, isn't made up of a tight close circle and has 0 objects or goal in mind. There is quite literally no community on the internet. Fuck you
735169378You type like a schizophrenic.
I think reddit is far worser, but thats just me
>>735168754>If you are at the same frequency of autism you'll automatically become part of the cabal otherwise you'll be pushed away because you don't fitYeah I keep failing this part.It's hard to come across people in tune with my tastes and worldview on gaming groups.
>>735164785Discord got popular because it was just a better version of steam group chats/vent/teamspeak/skype. However it's in its enshittification phase so it's only going to keep getting worse so there will probably be a lot of viable alternatives coming out in the next 2-3 years.
>>735169481That depends. Some discord servers has thousands of members yet you see the same dozen people in vc playing games. Discord servers with a couple hundred members or less are certainly too small to not form a tight community where everyone knows each other.
>>735169597
because it took something that was decentralized and made it centralized. same reason we hate reddit.reddit replaced forums with a shittier, corporate run site, discord did the same for the remaining forums that never moved to reddit as well as teamspeak and IRC.the problem is both the centralized servers and moderation AND who is in control of it. in both cases the admins are the worst kind of people. and that there's no real populated alternative anymore.
>>735164785That's cool and all but I just want to say I genuinely want to fuck discord's mascot
>>735164785it's trash. only reason to use it is because downloads are behind a login wallonly upside is if you get banned you don't get your money stolen like with game platform bans
>>735168754I don't fit in with anyone
>>735164785It's great when it's used for DMs, small chatrooms and VCs like it was meant for.It's shit when people try to use it as a replacement for fourms/imageboards.
>>735164785>game communitiesNo, those are tranny communities with a different coat of paint. They don't actually talk about the game, they talk about their headcanon-injected version of it, which they treat as absolute gospel over actual canon, and have a meltie if you ignore their trannyisms or implicate their headcanon isn't canon.
>>735173587seething about people having different opinions about how to play video games is /v/ culture
>>735174189Yeah, but unlike /v/ you get permabanned for rocking the boat and then they start letting other tranny bubbles know you're problematic and should be pre-emptively banned too.On /v/, unless you say some racist or political shit, or trigger an autoban phrase, you can cruise just fine unless you happen to step on a mod's toes, then it's 3 day central for you.
>>735168383I don't, I just talk to friends I made during school and became friends of their friends
>>735166046construct
>>735164785>communityAbout the only thing it has been useful for is having a char room for close friends. Community is a laughable term cause I do not participate in any large scale community or even small scale for a good reason. Human beings are garbage and this thing extrapolates every single negative thing about them
>>735169481DRIVEL.Give me my 8 seconds back.
>>735164785it's literally just newfags pretending to be jaded oldfag boomers who "hate" it and have to astroturf it hard.
>>735165875The OS you're using right now does the same
>here's your chromium client for a glorified IRC room with widgets and voice chat built inI hate normalfags so much it's unreal
discord is basically "pmd you the answer" but the entire forum. imagine where we'll be in 20 years where entire modding communities for games are just fucking gone because it was all on some discord that got deleted because the admin got arrested for raping children.
>>735177992>in 20 yearscan't it be sooner?surely there's enough dirt on some of these places
>>735177992That's happening right now though, you don't have to wait 20 years.There's been entire communities birthed and killed ever since Discord took off, without anyone even knowing they exist outside of a select minority of circlejerkers.
>>735164785>open it>red dot>it never goes away>even after leaving every channel
>>735173587I talk almost every day about PvP matches I play on some random discord I joined and with people that comment on the ones they had played. Stop letting troons live rent free in your head.
zoomers literally think the world didn't work at all before the invention of discord
>>735178306>put every single server into a single folder>right click mark as read
>>735178995what part of>even after leaving every channeldon't you understand
>>735174313or post about certain videogames the mods hate
>>735164785I'm tired of mods and fixed being uploaded to them, and the userbases of most games are just awful, straight up retarded kids everywhere just spamming whatever brainrot they have on their phone 24/7. Not to mention you get banned the moment you wrongthink or say a no no word.
>>735178674uncs are so brainrotted on the internet they can't not generalize
>>735179109then you're making shit up or intentionally obscuring details because as retarded as discord is that shit doesn't happen gtfo
>>735168273>and someone will finally be motivated to create a new environment,no. newer generations will adapt to the shittiness because it will be all they'll ever know. just look at mtx; everybody shat on todd back in the day for having the gall to charge actual money for horse armor, now you got paypigs defending blizzard selling 60 dollar mounts. the shittiness is so normalized among these people that instead of flaying devs for this bullshit they defend it and accuse the haters of being too poor
>>735164785What you need to understand is that most of /v/, and indeed 4chan in general, is autistic.That means when they are presented with a space that claims 'people who follow the rules will be fine, people who break the rules will be punished, their expectation is that that is accurate.But the reality, as always with neurotypicals, is more like this: 'people who suck up to the admins/mods can break as many rules as they want, people who disagree with the mods/admins political views will be punished.'They cannot handle this dissonance between stated truth and reality. And indeed they shouldn't. Such a thing is a sickening corruption of petty power, and absolutely disgusting.But still. This is the basis of 4chan's hate for neurotypical social spaces like discord and Reddit: jumped up little mod-dictators more interested in punishing people who don't suck them off for imagined offences than in enforcing any kind of objective rules.

>>735164785why exactly did people flock to this again while skype existed? the older I get the more I realize skype was just as good if not better.
>>735164785I only use discord for educational purposes and to talk to 1(one) very close friend of mine when we game, which is rarely these days. Any other time ive tried to join servers, it's always retards arguing over dumb shit so I just stay away from it

>>735181389I'm going to kill you.
Hoping Fluxer will get good by the end of the year. Second discord asks for my face I'm sending them nikokados asshole then uninstalling.
>>735164785Some people are isolationist creatures. One MMO I played with 4chan had a lot of people who knew each other from another MMO. The game was shutting down so I told them to add each other, and they were like "no we can't discord is gay" and I was like you just spent the past hour reminiscing on how good friends you all were, just fucking add each other. And they never did.
>>735164785>groomcordNo
>>735181956but what will you do if showing them nikocado's asshole actually works
>>735183103I never said I was expecting them to refuse it.
