Can’t blame communities for putting up their drawbridges and filling in moats either on an increasingly hostile internet. Unfortunately many don’t realize that discord is its own prison of sorts.
- nxor 1y agoWhat is meant by this ?
- Forgeties79 1y agoAI scraping, online harassment, etc. makes people like me want to build more of a “fort” than an open community because I feel a responsibility to protect the community we’ve already built. Discord makes it somewhat easy to keep folks/entities out that you don’t want around, hence so many hobbies and such moving into the space off traditional forums and social media. But it also silos off knowledge which means other folks can’t find it. It’s a real catch 22
- nxor 1y agoOkay, I think I understand, but Discord users typically use other apps too. So I wonder about the extent of this
- Forgeties79 1y agoIt’s just something I have observed both with professional and hobby communities I participate in. I can’t say it with any sort of real numbers behind it. Just ~vibes~ or whatever we want to call it haha
