A Discord community for gay gamers is in disarray after one of its moderators and an executive at Anthropic forced the company’s AI chatbot on the Discord, despite protests from members.

Users voted to restrict Anthropic's Claude to its own channel, but Jason Clinton, Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and a moderator in the Discord, overrode them. According to members of this Discord community who spoke with 404 Media on the condition of anonymity, the Discord that was once vibrant is now a ghost town. They blame the chatbot and Clinton’s behavior following its launch.

@jjjalljs @glimse Guilded was a trillion times better than Discord. I cant think of any Discord feature that was above Guilded's features besides having the Facebook userbase. But Roblox bought Guilded, gutted the userbase, and is now shutting it down. Most of the Guilded users went to Root which is expected to come out of beta this month. Root is going to be modular like Guilded with bots and apps. I was hoping Revolt would rise up but it hasnt advanced much in years. Shame because Revolt was open source like Matrix.
