>infects every online community with mentally ill unfunny pedophiles because all companies now offsource their communications to discord rather than making their independent forums
>monopolizes internet culture, marked the end of the 2010's, ruins the 2020's,
just shut this fucking website down

>>40108422 (OP)

Just shut up chud. Literally nobody cares, you're creating problems where there aren't any. Nobody is forcing you to use discord and even if they did nothing would come of it except another autistic chud meltdown. I'm gonna hide your thread now like a normal person.

if you’ve spent any time using discord, you’ve probably noticed that the platform struggles with monetization. and when you actually sit down and think about their business model, it's obvious that it’s not sustainable in the long run.

Blame jews and troons.

discord is literally the only reason were not given completely over to dead internet theory. if discord didnt exist you would spend 80% of your online time interacting with bots.

>>40108898
People won’t believe this but 4chan is genuinely the least botted space online because of its small userbase and the impossibility to get traction or exert influence

>>40108422 (OP)
it's genuinely good as a containment chamber in the same way that tumblr and /pol/ are/were.
Nobody on Discord has actually done anything meaningful.

>>40108492
>struggles with monetization
tons of people buy nitro

>>40108898
...or you can just use the games global chat
too late though cause discord killed most of the features that communities are usually supposed to have independent to them
also, online forums reward you with legitimacy and other shit to your account depending on how much time you spend on that forum, unlike mainstream sites like reddit or twitter
also if external links are banned or there isnt a algorithm you can tamper with, it highly lessens the chance for botting

>>40108946
i think the fact they reduced file sizes and started putting out ads speaks volumes
also discords CEO stepped down, and he usually does that when he thinks his company has reached its peak

>>40108979
nobody uses forums anymore
none of that shit matters anymore
you are living in an internet that died nearly 10 years ago.

>>40109076
>nobody uses forums anymore
i don't wanna alarm u but you're actually posting on one right now

>>40108718
yes my ass is big lol

>>40109076
>nobody uses forums anymore
retard, i know plenty of massive games that do in fact have their own forum
im not saying that theyre the only alternative. im saying that discord has to go, or at least have competition

>>40109107
also, roblox's guilded is the only people that tried to seperate but, like retards, they just made a shittier off-site version of discord rather than integrate communication into their own website, and failed.
do you wanna know what happened to roblox after they cozied up to discord and removed their in-site forms? their website got literally flooded with pedophiles, politics and gooners and now theyre facing lawsuits over child safety, which is really discord's
its insane how many communities that are full of kids have their only form of communication being, fucking, discord.
discord "culture" is a serious problem and has negatively affected the internet

>>40109092
>>40109107
you know what i mean. the era of forums, proper forums, is long dead. everythings a discord now.

discord ruined 4chan

>>40110032
thats not true, 2014-2016 ruined 4chan. we could have weathered literally everything else but the shit that came of those two years. worst of all, HW didnt even fucking stick around to keep his site not a hellscape.

>>40110050
hot take: election tourism and foreign astroturfing with rightoid boomers and proto-groypers from facebook and reddit being fed a packaged agenda-fulfilling form of 4chan memes was specifically facilitated by the off-site nature of discord working as a distorted echo chamber that made them feel like epic oldfags without ever using the site and caused a negative feedback loop back into it from the people who did start to use it and their handlers

discord is fucking gay

>>40110071
no this really wasnt discord, this was fucking stormfags, redditors, and facebook users.

if anything its the other way around, discord became the place that oldfags fucked off to in order to escape this shit. discord is the 7ch/8ch exodus that actually stood the test of time.

>>40110160
>this was fucking stormfags, redditors, and facebook users
but that's exactly what I'm saying, and I'm not saying there was some sinister plot that discord's management or whatever was active in - I'm saying this was facilitated using discord as a way to make 4chan digestible to those normie-types and to drum up the right kind of polluted echo chamber culture to then regurgitate back onto and flood the site (because it was and remains uniquely accessible and user friendly but also directly incentivizes this kind of shard/fractured community thing where everyone goes off into their own little cliques)
>discord became the place that oldfags fucked off to in order to escape this shit
and this is what siphoned off what was left of the imageboard culture into its own offsite cliques that leave the actual posters in threads as outsiders

>>40110160
As an oldfag imma confidently say oldfags don’t even know what discord really is. Something like AIM+Skype/teamspeak I think?

>>40108485
Using the word "chud" unironically means you deserve to die

>>40110207
you are an ugly disgusting chud that needs to die!

>>40110187
>as a way to make 4chan digestible to those normie-types and to drum up the right kind of polluted echo chamber culture to then regurgitate back onto and flood the site
anon this was reddit long before discord came to be.

>and this is what siphoned off what was left of the imageboard culture into its own offsite cliques that leave the actual posters in threads as outsiders
there was no choice, we were drowned out with no support from the mods. often, the mods were actively clamping down on 4chan sub communities in the name of dogmas that had long since lost their relevance let alone proportionality. remember when anti-anime posts were still met with "where do you think you are?" notice how we dont do that anymore?

>>40110204
anon i know youre not on those in current year. unless youre old enough to still be in the few surviving IRC groups im inclined to say youre talking out of your ass.

i remember in 2014 a lot of minor subcommunities here split off onto dedicated 8ch boards, and discord just showed up one day doing all that better on a platform that wasnt famous for terrorist bs and CP.

>>40110280
>a platform that wasnt famous for terrorist bs and CP
us oldfags like those kinds of stuff. Keeps things interesting

>>40110280
>anon this was reddit long before discord came to be.
fair point, but I still hold that discord accelerated and enabled this particular cultural takeover

I also never had the heart to use any altchans (even when 4chan got chicken jockey'd I was just bitching about how much they all sucked and how much I missed the OG)

>>40110290
i dont believe you

>>40110305
yes because discord was a disruptive force in a web with long established niches. the millennial web was more or less stagnant when zoomers showed up and killed it with discord.

>>40108913
Says the person tripfagging

>>40108422 (OP)
The simple fact is the only reason it ratio'd every other chat function is the same reason you aren't using most in built communication functions. It does it better. Imagine playing some nintendo bing bing wahoo shit and relying on their system to make communication possible. The reason discord succeeds is everything else fails and having everything be worse so you're more engaged by it due to your maladapted upbringing is as retarded as you know you are.

>>40110592
Im not sure you understand why people tripfag pumpkin pie

>>40110318
> i dont believe you
all I’m saying is oldfags didn’t migrate, we hardly use the internet anymore
