Discord is actually a good example: I think I got 0 notifications about groups I don't follow, so isn't as big of an incentive to aggressively smugpost as in Twitter.
- mox1 4y agoJoin any server remotely related to crypto or finance, the spam messages will start rolling in. I get on average about 1 a day, something about "pumps" (whatever that is)
- rejectfinite 4y agoBut with discord you choose what servers you join AND if you even get notifications or DMs from users...
- thereddaikon 4y agoWhy would join a discord dedicated to either? That seems like a own goal to me. If you dont want to get sketchy messages, then dont go to sketchy places.
- scruple 4y agoI don't join those servers, though, so I don't get notifications about their @channel messages. Twitter, however, is essentially doing exactly that to it's users. I hate being subjected to shit I don't want to see, so I don't keep Twitter installed on my phone, despite the fact that I an active in a couple of small, niche communities that can only exist at scale thanks to social media (and specifically Twitter). It's frustrating. Discord is (currently) the worst but best solution to this problem.
- fazfq 4y agoSomewhere in options you can choose not to receive messages from strangers.
- pj_mukh 4y agoFWIW, I've found most of my discord servers on...Twitter. Discoverability is still a problem. How does everyone else do it?
