dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

yeah because everyone uses Discord as a replacement for web sites even though it's a terrible format for storing and searching information

This is me but it's because discord is probably one of the worst attention devouring app out there and in general i avoid it like plague, any rooms that aren't set to where you can send one message per one or five minutes are basically unfollowable if you step away from your phone for ten minutes and completely useless as a forum, bring back MyBB.

It really sort of depends on the size of the community. The one I'm in that's just me and my friends has about 30 people in it, and the rate of posting is quite comfortable outside of the odd 5000 word rant

discord is dogshit. please never organize anything there if you can avoid it, don't give them free network effect

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate that people now just use discord instead of forums. It's a data blackhole

[–] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

yep. years of collective wasted effort are poured into the blackhole each day. even reddit is better, at least it gets scraped by search engines

I probably joined your stupid discord server because I needed to download a single file on there which wasn't available anywhere else

<20 member Discord: mute the bot channels, otherwise keep it real.

Anything else: mute that garbage

I am pretty anal about notifications honestly. Always keep my inboxes clean. I also am only in 1 active small server so it's not too hard to keep up with it.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't call me out like this.

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I've had discord for ages nkw and I still don't understand what it's for apart from vc. The channels are fn spamfests and the emotes are paywalled

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's me. I hate discord, but it's literally the only way that I can communicate with some people, and do hobby stuff. So I just have it set up so that only @mentions will rouse me.

[–] Aquilae@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Literally me

I have like a hundred servers joined and I don't know what half of them are anymore

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

not a smart idea, if the server gets nuked you could possibly get banned.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Oh no, anyway.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

pretty much

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago
