You think so? I believe that's properly a consequence of culture, Discord being originally a gaming platform, and of pseudoanonymity, the same thing you have on reddit. Anyone who cares even a tiny bit can join any of those public servers and see what you posted. The big difference is that you don't have as many lurkers who just got there by googling and are going to leave immediately. By the 1-9-90 rule of thumb, that's a lot of people.
- Macha 1y agoI think the YouTube real names and the nymwars era in general showed that requiring people to use their legal name doesn't actually change community standards.
- jowea 1y agoGood point, but I think there is a difference between turning what was once pseudoanonymous social media and where you mostly talk to people you don't know in real life into a real names social media, and having social media where you use your real name from the start and anything you post will likely be seen by people you know in real life.
