This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Discord usually just uses some bullshit allegations when they feel like kicking accounts down

I'm worried that for reporting all those servers and people, I will get a permaban as a thank you.

i hate discord so much my first discord account got permabanned because the owner of a server i was in went nuts and doxxed 8 year olds and my second account i got locked out for a year because they thought i was a bot and i couldnt use my phone number to verify because it was already in use on my first account then when i finally got in it had a 6 month ban because a server i was in got raided by racists that said slurs

I still don’t understand the point of discord. I just deleted the app cause it was sooooo boring. The only social media I have is a perma banned reddit account (a few), snapchat (which I never use anymore as I have grown out of it and it has turned to absolute shit) and the lemmsters. Feeling good

This doesn't sound "user friendly" at all to me

Whats the draw of discord? I don't get why people go on there. It's boring af and you gotta talk with people while you play video games. I'll go on if I absolutely have to for a group, but I avoid if I can.

Chat plus streaming as a freemium service that has its hooks in with the networking effect.

Probably the biggest draw of Discord is how many people use Discord. But past that, it fills a bunch of real time social media roles well.

As a case in point, I'm in a game of Pathfinder Kingmaker with friends, and Discord does a good job of letting players join virtually, sharing screens, rolling dice, keeping a log of the different chats, pinning the links to the Kingdom management files, and providing a search function to find historical info.

Being able to enter and sit inside a call where your friends can see that a call is active and who is in call is a really nice feature. It completely negates having to ping a whole group that may or may not be available like with Skype.
