Because a big “Join our community discord server!” on the game’s title screen isn’t enough apparently. They have to put a flashy animated GIF at the top of every update notification, change the name of the game’s Steam forum to “Join Our Discord!”, and even reply to posts in the Steam forum saying “You should join our discord so we can chat about it!” as if a forum isn’t a good place to chat about the thing that’s already being discussed.
Bitch please, if I wanted to be in the hell that is Discord I’d already be there, you can stop asking.
Start where you’d like, give me all you’ve got. 😄
Not OP, but:
confirmshaming, plus they got the monopoly on this type of social services by undercutting their competition through venture capital so they could go under tomorrow for all I care
😆 very good list. I can imagine all of those problems.
I’m very lucky, I am active in maybe 1 server, and then there’s my own which a few of my friends are active in. We’re just in our late 30s gaming with each other. Literally only use discord for the voice channels, nothing else. And I use Niri now, so tiling space is okay.
But I can see why it’s not like this for everyone! 😩

I was looking around for Discord TUIs or even third party GTK4 Discord clients. None seemed reasonable that I could find, that also supported voice chat. (None do, almost?)
Seems also that using such clients are against the TOS. 😒
