This, I made the mistake of joining public servers many times over the years but my experience on discord has never been better than since I left all of them.Dementedduck wrote:

Are public servers that bad? I've never been in one to be honest.Karmine wrote:

Most of them are dead, the ones that are active are either groups of friends where you'll feel excluded (if they don't completely ignore you) and the most active are usually very toxic with abusive mods.eblf2013 wrote:

I have a small public server that's not full of useless channels and emojis in channel names etc. and random people who join often criticize it for not being like literally every other public server. No wonder the ones that end up being active are toxic af.
As a Linux user, I can't fathom going onto Discord to do anything, even though it's the industry standard in communication technology. Use Revolt or Matrix instead.
Discord's an easy way to connect with friends IRL and manage projects. It's useful.
I cannot use Discord right now. But when I was able to use it, I enjoyed it very much.

My parents don't allow me to use it anymore. The reasoning is pretty stupid and I'm not going to explain it but, oh well.Stomiks wrote:

Try reasoning that other social media platforms are just as bad or worse than discord or something[ Sebastian ] wrote:

I rarely use discord to contact irl friends, and I join servers that I know I can trust.
Basically, just have common sense. This also applies to any social application in general.

You're actually being protected from the toxic atmosphere that is Discord.[ Sebastian ] wrote:

I mean, you can argue that most social media is bad. Discord isn't the only toxic social media that's harvesting your data. Just look at facebook and twitter. Facebook is known for trying to squeeze every single info out of you if they can and twitter is known for being the most toxic social media platform. You just need to find good communities and people on those sites and limit their data harvesting from you.Neigdoig wrote:

Not if they're open-source and decentralized like Mastadon or Friendica.
