This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. “Everyone else does it” is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.

    Forget in addition to privacy concerns, why do people use discord for announcements, or information, or so many other bizarre things? Stuff like that should be easy to look up, but trying to find anything older than a day on discord channels is fucking infuriating, and yet people keep using it for that.

    And then they won’t even recognize the irony when they are annoyed that people ask them the same questions over and over.

      We use it for chat and vc. Announcements go here.

      Edit: you are not even an LW user so you don’t even see it pinned.

              Only Beehaw defederated from us. And that will be undone when the right moderation tools become available. So really I don’t even know what you’re talking about now. The piracy thing is not something we wanted to do either.

                  I’m not really trying to have an argument about this, I have already moved on. I just was explaining why I’m in this conversation with a non-lemmy.world account.

                  Ok so you moved on after making no sense whatsoever.

                  Lastly, I wouldn’t necessarily count on beehaw refederating after more moderation tools are available. I think a substantial amount of the community there have a pretty negative view of your instance…

                  We’ll see wether or not Beehaw wants to federate with us, that’s 100% up to them as we have no problems with that instance. Whatever they do we’re still in talks with the admins there and we continue to support them even if we’re not federated. But thanks for your snarky response.

                    I’m trying to be friendly and clarify everything but I do not want to continue this discussion anymore, you are frustrating me how you keep misinterpreting what I say.
