  • Do you play video games? Read books? Play tabletop roleplaying games? Knit? There are public and private discord communities for all of those things and more. Go find one and join it. I lost my two closest friends who I had known for almost 3 decades in a couple of years apart and realized that without those two I didn’t really have any other friends that I hung out and spent time with, and I started really feeling lonely, and I’m practically a shut-in and don’t make friends easily either. Fortunately I lucked into two things that made a world of difference: a couple of TTRPG discords that I am now decent to good friends with all of the members, and a private gaming community. Between them they have about 350 people in them, and I have made a point of hanging out with them and trying to make friends, and I’ve met quite a few people I get along with really well, and I always have people to play tabletop or video games with.












  • I have said some pretty aggressively and unambiguously pro-Palestine things over there and never been dinged once for it, so I haven’t seen it. shrug

    Although I did notice that certain of my comments would act like they posted only to not actually post, to the point that I’ve taken to writing longer posts in notepad and pasting them over, and the ones that fail all seem to have something to do with Israel or Palestine. But usually a couple of attempts at posting them gets through, so… shrug




  • Yeah it’s been getting increasingly fashy over there. They’ve blocked topics before, but to my knowledge they’ve never banned people for upvoting something. It’s crazy. Next they’re going to start banning any anti-Israel content as antisemitic, or anything pro-Palestine as promoting terrorism or whatever. It’s gotten MUCH worse since the IPO, too, so it’s clearly being done for the benefit of the advertisers.
