Kinda like reddit

kinda like gamers in general.

Cry, and cry, and cry, and stir up a big shit storm about whatever the latest greatest grievance is… Then continue to speak with their wallet by shoveling hundreds of dollars to the companies doing all the atrocious shit they hate and complain about.

I am one of them. I only use it for comms for gaming. The rest doesn’t matter to me.

I use it to stay connected to my local community including the high school robotics team I help mentor. I don’t have much of a choice. :(

As I understand it, you should be fine unless that server is doing 18+ stuff. Don’t verify, discord will assume you’re a teenager. I’m leaving because I don’t have any ties like that. Maybe you could convince the server to move elsewhere?
