  • How about all the times I’ve seen MAGA people make threats like that and worse?

    Yeah, my own half brother threatened to shoot me for voting against his orange god. My parents regularly would post about how anyone who disagreed with Trump deserved death.

    But these are rules for others, not for them.





  • TeamSpeak can only replace the voice chatting aspect. The vast majority of people use discord for text chat.

    It’s really such a different beast. You can chat in a discord server while you’re on your phone when you’re unavailable to chat on voice. I know teamspeak has an app, but it was clunky last time I bothered with it, and it’s still not that type of experience. People love discord chat, they love the emotes, they love their profiles. I just can’t see a lot of people giving that up.

    And like I’ve said earlier, I’m not even sure if most people are aware of the changes or if they even care. The people from Aus or the UK that I’ve seen on discord lately seem like they’re just dealing with the id requirements.










  • I haven’t seen it that bad on this platform, but on reddit it’s so awful that I have to always check downvoted comments for the 50/50 chance that the comment is entirely reasonable and provides genuinely beneficial information, rather than being completely insane.

    It’s also just really sad that people would often ask questions and then downvote an answer not for being wrong, but because it was something they didn’t want to hear. Then immediately after respond with, “You have so many downvotes, you must be wrong.” One of the old legal subreddits from around five years ago was infamous for this. Why yes, go ahead and trust the unverified user who didn’t link to any code. I’m sure they are absolutely correct.


  • What discussions happen on discord?

    You ever have an issue with anything and you find the answer on some random reddit discussion that ends up in your search results when you’re looking around?

    Discord isn’t really like the older methods of chatting, where people used platforms to chat for the sake of chatting. Entire communities from forums decided to just upend everything and move into discord. Niche software and other files are often shared among discord communities, or assistance for said files and programs is offered only through specific discord communities.

    The platform is still better than anything we had back in the day, it’s just that for some reason people have decided that everything needs to be stored in there.

    Anyway, I don’t see much changing. People will probably attempt to take this culture onto whatever new platform they move onto.




  • Yeah, historically it’s a bit more complicated. Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus which was an unorganized and very splintered resistance movement existed. There’s a lot of reasons for why they couldn’t quite make the impact they wanted, besides being splintered, but that’s probably the largest one.

    Besides that though, the Germans did attempt to cleanse their image after the world war with the Wehrmacht myth. The myth essentially states that the regular army had no knowledge of the acts committed by the SS, that the average German solider was bravely fighting for their country under false pretenses. Obviously it’s not true, but it seems to have been rather effective unfortunately.
