I have never once used discord and it makes me wonder how much information I haven’t been able to find, but I’ve managed to get what I need so I don’t know if it was important anyway.

They already disappeared around 2017 when Steve Bannon's racist troll armies flooded every single social media site or app. The auto-immune reaction killed the host, which I suspect was the point.

I agree with the previous comments: forums are hard to manage because of trolls, hackers and lack of dedicated resources ... The main responsible being, before reddit and discord, the ugly social networks mainly facebook. I hope this company will crumble ...

I’m looking for a study group for a specific maths textbook I’m reading

Discord math forum is too big and my queries get swamped so I don’t use it

I’d appreciate some advice on this and also how to develop my federated use of the internet

Every forum i joined for my hobbies are always been full of shills in disguise.
