I notice that on Discord, even in "servers" (which aren't servers) that are allegedly about technical topics, it seems like at least 3 out of every 4 messages are slop - low effort irrelevant memes etc. For example there's a cat gif labeled "repost this cat after a substantial delay" and people just post that for no reason, then other people reply with the same gif. And there's no algorithm in Discord - it's an IRC-style chatroom platform - it's real humans posting and engaging with slop because it triggers dopamine or something, somehow.
