I fucking despise (((Discord))) for killing off traditional forums.

Maybe because they are hidden from the public and server members choose who enters, so they feel like a secret club Also, discord allows you to live the entire day glued to the internet. On-topic discussions barely exist, you can just say whatever. Notice how every server has #general as the first room. >>532407 Me too buddy. Fortunately imageboards are still going strongish.

Discord sucks because over there the admin and moderator tend to show clique behavior excessively and cronyfaggotry is in bound. Too much cronyfaggotry, circlejerking. Discord is like Twitter and Reddit had a baby and the atmosphere over there is prone to debate and e-drama tenfold anywhere else for some reason, maybe the layout causes this. Traditional forums weren't perfect either, but there were strong feelings of community and I browsed a traditional forum for a long time. There was a bit of a clique and the prevailing culture was centre-leftwing, pro-SJW, anti-Gamergate, with a few outliers who were pro-GamerGate back in 2015... for the record it was an MMO forum and I hate MMOs now, but it was fairly nice for the feeling of community there like a little hamlet where everyone knew each other.

Maybe we should advertise what forums we browse to help them and fight discuck. What forums do you visit, anon?

Tenchi Forum https://tenchiforum.com/ Super Mario Boards https://www.marioboards.com/ Two forums I thought about browsing.

>>532407 Forums were never good though with few exceptions. I talk from experience. Also active forums are still a thing and they're even more cancerous than they used to. Take gba.temp and KiwiFarms for example.

>>532419 >Discord sucks because over there the admin and moderator tend to show clique behavior excessively and cronyfaggotry is in bound. Sounds exactly like traditional forums. The only difference are that: - Literally anyone can open their own discord group immediately for free while opening your own forum and attracting new members needs much more effort - Unlike forums that are mostly public, many discord groups are private. Which allows lots of illegal and creepy behaviors they would never dare doing at public forums.

>>532481 Also my first online bans were at shitty forums run by leftist SJWs like HardcoreGaming101 forum with them being fully anti-Gamergate. That's why when I first opened my own discord server at 2016 (which is still alive and active) I allowed pro-Gamergate conversations and even invited Gamergate supporters (true ones, not tradcucks who pretended siding with Gamergate to attack liberals).

>>532420 >What forums do you visit, anon? None except 2-3 forums for sharing pirated material like nextgenroms.
