oh yeah i mean there's still like an order of magnitude of difference compared to microsoft lmao

FWIW, I think I can remember five big Linux controversies over the past 15 years

Torvalds' abusive behaviors (though it seems he's since chilled out on and apologized for), and richard stallman just as a whole i would say count among them too

this sucks, like a lot. but i don't think this is a problem solely with discord? no matter where you run a community as a moderator you're going to have to make decisions surrounding transness and transphobia, and these moderators chose a path of transphobia.

i do think discord sucks in a lot of ways but it's currently the most user-friendly option out there sadly for managing a chat-based community. you can argue all day that irc is better but it lacks a lot of features and is really intimidating to a lot of people who aren't so tech literate.

the fact that it's used for centralizing information though IS BAD. make a dang wiki or something lol.

this is extremely not a healthy or functioning nation lol

it all comes full circle

dang haven't thought about that place in a while

it's been on my list, thanks for the reminder

you're welcome. i think chop suey is my favorite lol

you're really throwing water under the bus here

i will instead play animal poorly

yeah i dunno about you but for me it also gets more pronounced the older i get lol

:3c

you can change your password as long as you're logged in, which it seems you are on some computer
