Do people use discord? I've seen less and less people of MAL in my discord server.
Do people on MAL really use discord? If you don't why not?

Edit: i see some people wnat a place to be.
You can join my server if you want.

Hardly anymore. I was active in 2017, but after that I pretty much became inactive.

I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit,

It was the verecund, dismissed creatures

I just have better things to do, and everyone I like became inactive, so there is no reason for me to be active on there anymore. I'm not willing to join servers these days.

Oh, I get it. The same is happening in my server. People just leave and the amount of people active decreases and decreases. That's why I made this thread to ask why people left.
Thank you for your input ;D

Yes, I use Discord. I have a small cluster of friends on Discord, and even my mom has a discord account.

Out of the friends I have on Discord, there was one close friend that I had, but he talked to me for 5 or 6 hours a day, 7 days a week, and I had very little time to myself.

Yesterday, I worked up the courage to tell my friend that I needed a little bit of space, and that we should only talk a couple of times a week instead. I explained it to him as kindly as I could, and he responded that he understood, but a few hours later, he removed me as a friend on Discord, and he removed me here on MAL too. :(

I didn't want our friendship to end, but apparently he didn't understand that I needed some space.

I don't use the MAL Discord often enough, but it has helped me find some great communities with like-minded people.

I've also met both equally interesting and amazing people on there, so it's really nice.

I don't actively use Discord anymore. Only look through the servers like once in a blue moon. Don't like their 2000 character limit. I think Skype has more, plus you can edit your messages.

Was also testing Keybase, but the GUI seems a bit bugged in the IOS version, plus, there are hardly people to write to. On the other hand, it seems to be quite interesting that you can have 250GB of storage for free:

And that's why he removed you? Normally, it would be the other way around: the one wishing for same space would do the removing. Anyway, I feel you as well

Thanks. I don't understand why he's so upset. I thought he would understand that I needed a bit of space.

I have a Discord but I don't really use it often as I would like. I do have some IRL friends but it seems I'm the only one with too much free time. There are communities I subscribed and chatted a couple of times in servers like r/anime, but made no "friends." I guess for me its not really for making friends, but just chatting random stuff with strangers.

Facebook is not any different, and I never claimed so. I don't use Facebook either.

That's a fallacy. Someone liking or disliking something doesn't make it true or false. Why don't you adress the article itself instead of who likes it? Funnily, Stallman himself disagrees with some of the points of the article. That must make it true, right?

What's with the tinfoil hat? Discord's privacy policy admits that it aggregates and sells your data. There's nothing tinfoil about that, you can go read it. Or you can try to disprove the article instead of continuously dismissing it, that doesn't make you look good.

OK, that's a more acceptable answer. I don't agree with it though, uMatrix and Ungoogled Chromium alone give you nearly full protection. The rest is avoiding services like Discord which is easy to do.

I am enjoying the Internet though, and I'm pretty relaxed. The Internet is great.

You know if you want people in your server so badly they've literally got websites dedicated to advertising your little server? I mean, jfc MAL is not one of them.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, yes I use discord. Not as much as I used to because i've lost interest in spending 8 hours a day on servers to maintain some fabricated reputation. Anymore, i just use it to talk to the few friends i have.

I don't use it because I find it useless, the number of interactions I had with other people were so low compared to whatsapp that I just didn't even bother remembering it's existence.

About privacy online, I do care about it, not because I fear the state using it against me (as long as it remains democratic that is...) but because I've seen some companies (yes Google, I'm looking at you) fucked ups that shared my data in other people's Android devices. Luckly, it was not something big but it made me doubt about possible fucked ups that I was not even aware off or ones that were yet to come. Since then I started caring more about onlive privacy.
