Discord is basically small independent servers, where discussions and information primes over users. If you have some toxic people, they just get kicked out.
I run a server with a bit more than 1000 members, most of them teenagers. I'm always surprised how nice and friendly they are to other strangers on the net.
- asim 3y agoI think discord works well but at the same time isn't for my generation. I was reluctant to adopt slack and used it for work/oss community building but found it just wasn't a fit for me. I'm still someone who enjoys email and async comms. I also prefer conversating in small groups. So having this kind of fixed limit feels right. Like 20 people or less. Totally private. I also don't really want to talk to strangers. I'd like it to be network driven starting with real people I know or have met IRL.
- koonsolo 3y agoI understand your point about Discord. I'm also not on other servers, only the one I manage :D. It's too chatty for an old guy like me :D. In that case I guess WhatsApp is what most people use for groups that you know.
