If the random chance it stresses you out and leads towards a potential day ruined I think you are not mentally ok to be on the internet, let alone discussion boards, and I say this with due respect. This is not a safe space.

If you get bothered by an image like that you should just not enter a public discussion board or the internet period. I genuinely mean it if something like that ruins your day.
Why do we need content warnings on lemmy on mundane stuff like this?
This boy ain’t right
Eh I agree with the reasonable takes here. Nothing wrong with generating that sort of stuff until it starts resembling the likeliness of a real living person. Then I think it’s just creepy; especially if for some reason you are sharing it 💀
At hand-to-hand combat
I agree with the others, you sound like the type of person that the emergency fund is designed for.
It’s hip to be racist against white people, did you forget? /s
I for one am hyped. Having played the original 7, rebirth to me is seriously crazy good. The sheer amount of content packed into the game is astounding and it’s what I dreamed 7 would be like as a kid.
If anyone’s thinking of grabbing it - don’t let moronic internet comments dissuade you, if you like FF at all this is easily one of the best of all time.
Nah gonna keep using discord since it’s the best. No amount of daily discord bad threads will stop me.
“Keyboard warrior” I’m not the one crying and wishing death about my grandma to the internet. Rofl.
Edgy today aren’t we? You’ll read this comment again in a decade when she passes and physically recoil from all the cringe you inflicted on yourself. I guarantee it.
I mean I have compared it and bots are still relentless on forums.
Just like every other job you bring it up to the IT department and work around it.
Is there any guarantee that they won’t?
Ridiculous argument. There are no guarantees in this world besides death. Your favorite website can and will eventually go down yet that doesn’t mean I won’t use something even though I know it’s temporary.
I don’t know the exotic logic you rely on. But I can search forum posts from Google or DuckDuckGo without ever registering
There are forums that hide their built-in search feature for registered users only because it causes too much to run those queries for unregistered users.
You are attacking a strawman. The target you choose to prove your point is Reddit? The company that screwed its entire userbase in order to cut off their competitors from data access - which is the reason why they don’t work well with searches? People don’t like Discord for the same reasons as Reddit. Both are silos meant to lock users in.
I used Reddit as an example to show how bad google searches are yes. Your attempt at whataboutism is not appreciated. Good try.
This is laughably inaccurate. So, you’re just making up facts now? I do web searches on technical problems and search engines perform very well. Your claim doesn’t stand up in an actual test.
I mean we’re both using personal anecdotes. I’m giving you a perspective where it is not the case. Hard to digest, I know. And yes I stand by using Stack Overflow’s search instead of relying on Google for example. You don’t get terrible bloated results plagued by ads and clickbait. You’re quite literally wasting your time using search engines.
There is a reason why Discord is not searchable online - it’s a silo by design
I don’t think you understand how expensive it is to keep websites available to be indexed by search engines. The sheer amount of bot traffic making large volumes of requests makes running things much more expensive than they need to be especially if your product is free and without ads. Sure it’s a silo by design but that lack of public availability is what makes it cheap to run with the extra features I get to enjoy.
Even if you have reasons to believe that the current management has no reasons to do so, they will get acquired by someone else lacking the same sensibilities. You should be completely blind to not see this play out again and again and again
Yes and I literally don’t care. It’s the best platform for the role it fills currently and I’ll simply move on to the next thing just like everything else in life. I’ll keep enjoying it like I have for the past 8 years and not cry about it.
You’re making up nonsense again. May be it’s not important to you. But they are important to FOSS projects and their users.
All you have to do is ask around in the community everyone migrates to and that’s it. It’s a tiny annoyance and that’s genuinely my perspective. You get bothered by it sure, but I legitimately don’t care if Discord sped up development for most of the projects lifespan.
The statistics of this entire discussion doesn’t agree with your statement. But let’s forget that for now. You’re not crying about making an account or stability of the platform because you’re foolish enough to believe in those. You don’t have the insight required to observe what’s happening all around you. I can’t wait for the day to come back and say ‘I told you so’. Because it will happen. Nowhere in history has it happened in any other way.
By the way I already know it will happen but you are projecting some caricature in your mind onto me. Do yourself a favor and don’t respond.
If I know the community exists, I can narrow the search on Google
Doesn’t work most of the time for my communities.
And if the community I’m looking for is regarding something I’m working on, I’m not putting discord on my work laptop, so shit outta luck
Sounds like a personal problem you don’t want to work around.
One tries to be a flexible, interoperable, and secure protocol for communication, that’s free for anyone to implement and use…
The other is a for-profit company that cherishes its centralized nature and far reaching control, allowing them to sell you random bells and whistles, collect your data unobstructed, and lure in investors and advertisers.
Barely anyone cares about any of this. This stuff will never outweigh the features and QoL Discord has over everything else.
Good response. Very funny. Well said.
