Might as well ignore all attainable goals that would benefit society in the short term in favor of sci-fi pipe dreams that are perpetually delayed as we endlessly run into stumbling blocks.

Forget solar/wind/geothermal/etc. development as well, fusion power could happen any day now so why bother with any of that comparatively inefficient junk?

What’s the exchange rate of Discord Orbs to Stanley Nickels?

You really don’t take disagreements during a discussion well, huh?

You’re putting a lot of words in my mouth. All I ever said was that Discord is a poor replacement and I’m reasonably content to stick with Reddit until something substantial forms here or somewhere besides Discord. I’m not obligated to form a community and just because you call me lazy and sling insults at me for that choice doesn’t really change my mind on the matter, it just makes you look childish.

You’re the one getting worked up, and simply for my refuting Discord as a good replacement.

Grow up.

I addressed that directly in my last paragraph. It seems you are the one doing the selective reading here…

What did I apparently selectively read? I’m fairly sure I addressed most of what you said in the previous comment, but I’m on mobile so feel free to point out what I missed.

Because “slightly less shitty” isn’t as attractive of a moniker to me as it seems to be to you when it comes to deciding which platform to switch off to.

And a subreddit having a Discord doesn’t really guarantee much aside from having the same mods in charge. The userbase is invariably going to be different and may not have the same “vibe” as the subreddit. It’s not really as simple as you’re trying to make it out, which makes the idea of jumping off one shitty corporatized platform to another extremely unappealing.

I also don’t use social media enough or have enough free time to bother attempting to form and moderate my own community, so as much as I dislike Reddit I’m content just waiting it out for something that isn’t just another lame Discord server to pop-up here or elsewhere.

E: correcting autocorrect

Discord is now run by the former vice chairman of Blizzard. That, combined with it being only “not as far along” in the enshittification process actually makes the idea of putting time and energy into finding a niche community that I can jive with on Discord less appealing than simply sticking it out with Reddit and it’s known variables until something substantial forms on Lemmy or some other platform that hasn’t begun severely degrading due to corporate ownership.

That’s my personal opinion anyway.

Discord is already prepping for an IPO so why bother putting any energy into moving off Reddit, finding, and getting involved with communities on there when it’s going to be yet another shit show in fairly short order?
