It's like Usenet before the unwashed masses invaded it. Gives me 90s vibes. Also I don't really care about that type of social media. I like SA because conversations are centered around a topic, not someone's comment. It's less ego-driven by design, I think.

I had trouble understanding mastodon until it clicked that it is just a slicker looking version of usenet. Somehow we have gone full circle to the internet of the early 90s.

Discord is just a slicker version of IRC.

I'm still on irc and some of the channels have bots that sync up the channel with discord chats.

That seems like a lot of work to avoid using discord but at the same time, you’re avoiding using discord so I think you’re still winning in the end.

it turns out the missing ingredient in IRC was having Tencent media using it as a way to sell your personal information to the highest bidder

is it possible for the "goth discord" to invade the "christian discord" and render the place unreadable for 24 hours via scripts blasting constant huge ascii banners of demons and porn and weed?

because if not, no its not like irc
