      Here you go, friend:

      Not gonna be active on Discord tonight. I’m meeting a girl (a real one) in half an hour (wouldn’t expect a lot of you to understand anyway) so please don’t DM me asking me where l am (im with the girl, ok) you’ll most likely get aired because ill be with the girl (again l don’t expect you to understand) shes actually really interested in me and its not a situation i can pass up for some meaningless Discord degenerates (because ill be meeting a girl, not that you really are going to understand) this is my life now. Meeting women and not wasting my precious time online, l have to move on from such simple things and branch out (you wouldnt understand) @everyone

        I’m also on Discord, much as I’d rather not be - as I expect many others here also are.

        Lemmy allowed me to cut reddit out completely, because it successfully fills the same purpose for me - a feed of news, information, memes and random stuff, with room for discussion. There may not be as much content as reddit or as many niche communities, but that doesn’t matter.

        But with Discord, there are specific communities that compel me to stay on Discord, because that’s where the people are. I’d love to move entirely to better and more open platforms, but unless those communities move too I can’t leave completely.

              They are planning to IPO later this year. In preparation they’ve already added shit features or removed some good ones.

              Discord will soon be the next piece of shit.

                As long as discord can voice calls and channels that are quick and easy to join, it literally does all most people need.

                  That is only a very small use case for the majority of discord users, it has overtaken dedicated support forums for the vast majority of gaming, politics, day trading, you name it.

                  Then they slowly start adding ads (quests), paywalling more and more features and generally looking to juice their numbers for the IPO, after it goes public it will enshitify further as the csuite looks to get their payday and have their places filled with “shareholder value” types. It’s happened over and over just you wait.

        Had a friend in highschool who did this. Kept up the act the entire time until he graduated. I was two years behind and didn’t see him again.

        Well, almost 7 years later I’m on hard times and delivering pizza just for some income and, low-n-behold, I see him is name on a delivery. So, I request that I be the one to bring it.

        Show up and this chick answers the door. I tell her I’m dude’s old friend from HS, so she goes and gets him. We catch up and I make a joke that he finally got a real GF and doesn’t need the story about his GF in Canada.

        She was the gf from Canada.
