A quick rule that works for me with new Discords is to open the member list. If you see a bunch of pronouns listed by people's usernames, then the politics of the server skew heavily leftwards.

Truth.

We're nearly at 200 members and the conversations are going fast and strong.

I have people on Reddit saying it will be a right-wing cesspit...

Yes but those people called Twitter Far-Right; back when they could say anything they wanted, while anyone right of Mao was banned. They're the people that say mainstream media is Far-Right, when it marches in lock-step with their every ideological stance.

Meanwhile people like me worry about RPG Discord servers going Far-Left because the majority of them are covered with pronouns and BLM fists.

Okay.

If you're worried about joining a server that has people with pronouns in their name or BLM fists, then don't join us.

If you're worried about joining a server where you have to hold your tongue, then don't join us.

If you want a broad church and politically neutral tabletop Discord, then do join us.

So I guess it will just be a cesspit.

...But an Equal Opportunity Cesspit!

The problem with discord is its in reality one really fucking long communal email message. No threads, no nothing, just a long fucking email message.

Heh. Nice way of saying it's left wing and will be filled with nonsense.

Greetings!

Yeah, my friend! Members having their fucking Commissar-approved pronouns listed with their names, and scum BLM Fists? I'm definitely, absolutely not interested in joining such a cesspool Discord.

To me, it speaks *volumes* that the clown that runs the Discord is just happy as fucking peaches to have members with their degenerate pronouns and BLM Fists attached and advertised. He's just *fine* with that BS, but YOU had better "Hold your tongue".

Geesus. I'm lighting up a cigar after reading that BS. *Laughing*

Semper Fidelis,

Friends don't let friends use Discord

Jason Coplen · July 10, 2024, 04:37:57 PM

Hold your tongue, leatherneck! We don't say woke snowflake here. Look at all the members with pronouns and BLM fists into having sex with furries and little kids. Be nice. We're all bitches here and can't handle different opinions. Oh, ad don't call us obese either. We can't be wrong with the amount of dimwitted people into our causes.

Pathetic as fuck!

As THE_Leopold said in his post right below yours - friends don't let friends use discord. I think that's the company that will throw you off their service for thought crimes made elsewhere. It's basically reddit divorced from a web browser.

ForgottenF · July 10, 2024, 04:53:39 PM

I tried the Discord link, it opened up the Discord app, and then...nothing. Tried again and got an invalid invite link message. No idea if that's a problem with the server or on my side somewhere.

Necroing a thread about a discord that has been dead for months. Well done.
Here's the reddit thread about it that was pinned for several months.

>Considering the old OSR Discord has previously had serious accusations against their moderators, I think it is important to start over fresh.

AND that's what happens when you let in clowns with pronouns and BLM fists in their biopics.

How.
Not.
Shocking.

BUT more important, here are questions for everybody!!

1) Are there any good OSR Discords? I've heard the Mork Borg one began kewl and then became an inredeemable retard zone.

2) Are there any Discords you enjoy which are better organized than "one long email chain"?
