idk if discord pushes server creation or if people are just real eager to moderate a space, but i cannot stand that seemingly every single one of my discord contacts has their own server with like 5-10 people, and that’s the only way they ever wanna chat.

like “yeah let’s play helldivers, pop in my discord so you can also listen to 3 people you don’t know who aren’t playing.”

maybe i’m just old.

    The issue with the friend group on discord is that if you start a call it starts ringing everyone, even people who are obviously offline (at least thats my experience, though I haven't used that feature in about a year). That's why it ends up everyone having their own server

    Uhh it doesn't ring everyone. You just join a voice channel and just ping anyone you want on DM or in a text channel.

    It's not a server, the thing I'm talking about is the group chat feature https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/223657667-Group-Chat-and-Calls

    That's why I'm saying everyone makes a server, because the group chat feature is 90% useless

    Oof, mea culpa. I thought you were talking about the server calls. Yeah, the group chat is mostly used for impromptu discussion on my part. Like when making an ad hoc call to discuss something that shouldn't be shown on the server.

    It's been a good 3rd place replacement for me. I've made so many new offline friends through discord. At first I just play online games with voice on, and then I met some party who enjoyed playing with me and they invited me to their discord and so on.

    Some friend group has been going strong for 10 years now.
