I missed an opportunity to say the bunkiest of funches, and I’ll never forgive myself.

hear ye hear ye, behold the funkiest of bunches

If it helps you sleep at night…

Yeah I can tell you’re not commenting to convince anyone, you’re just commenting to vent your frustrations. I get it, no worries. I mean the world is pretty shitty right now, and if you’re thinking Canada and China and equally evil authoritarian regimes, yeah I guess all us commenters are equally not worth the effort. Have a good weekend mate, keep up the good fight against… everyone.

Despite all your raging comments in this thread, I still don’t know what your stance is. The weak straw man argument isn’t helping.

Small world, I’m also on the balatro/other games modding discord boat, and it is a rough ocean out here. The perennial argument is that users don’t know how to use an old school forum, nobody wants to moderate it, nobody wants to pay for the infrastructure.

All those fall flat to me. Nobody even bothers to use discord’s “forums” or pinned messages for their bug reports/troubleshooting, no they just post straight to general, “this doesnt work can someone help” with no details whatsoever. Not like it would be any better or worse on a forum. It’s also not like BBS forums don’t have moderation tools, it’s not some lost art from an ancient civilization. As for paying for it… the whole discord server is propped up by nitro users. Like come on. Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

I wouldn’t say a monopoly, but my counterpoint is pointing to how discord swallowed up all the BBS forums that reddit hadn’t. So it’s not like that’s much better.

Me too friend, me too.

I mean they literally called their campaign “the revenge tour.” There’s nothing they want to build because a fascist regime like this already has everything they need: huge amounts of capital, channels to pipe out propaganda, and hoards of mindless hate-filled followers, all of them armed to the teeth.

“What else is on the agenda” is getting rid of anything and anyone that can stand up to them.

Hot take: Walz/Harris might have won, but Harris/Walz just never stood a chance.

They’ll just fill the place with known loyalists, party officials, and MAGA social media influencers, denying access to actual republican voters.

They’ll be quiet and listen to their master like good little boys and girls, and then they’ll go on social media and say “see? our town hall was full of republicans and it was peaceful! your town hall must have been infiltrated by socialists!”

The town hall outrage will just become another charade, if it hasn’t already, very very soon.
