Discords fucking suck. It's an abomination of reddit/normalfag/weeb/gaiafag trash that festers in one place and jerks each other off worse than the worst ircs I've seen.

>just join a discord brahhhh
>i find plenty of games/players in discord, you can too
Then it's fucking stale, 3 year old memes and unironic "GANGNAM STYLE"-tier references.

No thanks, I'll keep soloing or working on my own stuff.

I've been to a few /v/-made discords and they always turn to shit in a matter of days/hours. I don't know what it is about it, but it feels as if having an identity in a community brings out the absolute worst people around here.

Discords are basically the means to enable tripfaggotry and circlejerking. If you're not a part of the initial formation, joining the discord is basically volunteering yourself to be involved in drama or an exercise in futility as the circlejerk pays no attention to your efforts and contributions.

While it might serve a purpose to help you find people to play video games with, you have to literally lie low and demonstrate no personality in order to get by unscathed.

>>374538425

WHOA

i used to enjoy guilds and communities until i realized that the majority of people using them are using them as surrogate social lives instead of just wanting to enjoy their hobby... if you're coming to a hobby to "make friends" instead of "enjoy the hobby," you should really reconsider your life choices... now i'm just a misanthropic asshole, but i HATE people like that so much. it's the same as the classic steam friend that adds you after a game then the next day spams you about how fucking depressed they are irl

>>374538524
Idk this isn't always true. I've been in a few quality discords and while they fall to circlejerking a lot, they've never been shitty at answering questions about the topic game or providing some sort of assistance.

>>374538573
It's one thing if somebody claims to be wanting to play games but instead just wants friends but at least they're being honest and forthcoming. Some people just have a hard god damned time making friends IRL and it's more comfortable meeting people online. You should take some sympathy pills my dude

>>374538596
Pretty sure it's a controller icon

>>374538657
If anything, I have a hard time finding /v/ based discords. Most of them seem to be on /vg/ and even then, it's only a handful, but the one I did go to was what you could probably call 'the worst example'/

Also, does anyone have any decent /v/ discords that tend to talk about actual vidya? I tried /vg/ but they're always centric around a certain game and thus create that circlejerky atmosphere about certain e-famous players of said game or friend circles/cliques.

>>374538726
Yeah there's only been like two decent /vg/ discords I've been in. The /tg/ one isn't too bad.

>>374538783
I'd love a discord where I could find people to play just about any kind of game. Maybe if you take out the whole /vg/-single-game focus, the circlejerking might be diluted a bit.

>>374538657
i have no problem with people making friends in games, i don't even care if people want to heart to heart about their feelings because i know that some people need emotional venting like that.. it's actually really hard to explain lol.. like, i used to run a starcraft group for my state and it ended up devolving into people posting about wanting to go clubbing and get fucked up instead of anything related to starcraft... so i told them to go make a new group because it was choking the actual STARCRAFT content and they were like "dude i mean we're all friends through starcraft who cares..." eventually it just all became normie RL stuff and the actual SC players moved on so i deleted the group, but that's what i mean

People usually make discords to play with their friends anyway

I'd suggest making a discord right here right now but that usually ends in circlejerks or just dead empty discords nobody talks in.

I wish discord never added emotes or fucking bots. Just a clean UI with voip and navigable chat

>>374538979

All discords I've joined end up dead in a matter of hours.
I don't mind though. It's better than having it end up in a giant circlejerk

I like Discord exactly because it's not used as a fucking voice chat.

I have no issues with my voice, nor am I afraid of talking because I pretend to be a girl or some shit. I just hate sitting in voice chat all day not being able to do what I want and actually having to pay attention to shit people say. I just want to listen to music, watch a stream, watch a show or whatever while grinding.

>>374539157
What communities are you joining? Now that I think about it, fucking NSFW discords tend towards people posting content. I guess it's easy to be content minded when the content is what you fap to

>>374539161

>>374538425
/v/ is filled with unstable and insecure manchildren. /v/ communities ALWAYS turn to shit, not just in discords but in any multiplayer game with a clan system. Every single one of them except for this particular one I've been in for years but seriously all the others are just fucked.

Discord is arguably the best way for players to communicate, everything else is shit.

Discord needs to implement server specific avatars and a server browser that servers can opt in to with the ability to set your own tags or something so you can actually find communities relatively easily rather than trying to find some random reddit

Yeah, Discord being an irc chat fucking sucks. The only reason that I use it is to communicate to some of my friends that uses it and even they, themselves, only use it for private messages. I also find it annoying that everyone just post "le ebin emojis xD" and cancerous maymays. Don't forget those people who act like a total hotshot. I miss using old online forums.

>>374540282
If only you knew of the before times when Steam friend threads weren't really a thing just yet and anybody who was on Steam and /v/ all tended to congregate together in a single Community group.

Friend threads really didn't become a thing until a year later when that group was falling apart.

>>374540452
Stop that.

>Discords on /vg/ are clique havens. They might talk about the games but only in a self contained group, which is ridiculous since the Discord itself is already a group off the board.
Literally every single organization or social community that's not anonymous will always have cliques. It baffles me that this somehow comes as a surprise for some anons. People learn to know each other over time and generally get closer to each other through continued interaction. They can't possibly keep interacting the exact same way they once did as complete strangers.

New people may feel left out at first but that's just something people have to deal with both in real life and in games. It happens when you join a guild in an online game. It happens when you get a job in real life. There will always be established social circles and hierarchies that you just have to deal with and find your own place in.

If this really bothers some anons so much, they should just stop being laggards and pick up new games as they're released. By being in the general (and potentially, the Discord) from day 1, they can ensure that they'll be a part of the terrible circlejerk if they actually want to be there.

>>374540564
I do but why I can't fathom why anyone would ever have wanted to be a part of that. Most of you fucks have terrible taste in video games and I have absolutely nothing in common with you. It wasn't as bad in the past, though.

By limiting myself to communities revolving around one game or one genre I at least meet somewhat likeminded people who I have something in common with. Ironically, though, the meta threads on /v/ have always been the best, as I still have more in common with the average /v/ poster than, say, the average /b/tard.

>>374540807
>I can't fathom why anyone would ever have wanted to be a part of that.
Because it used to be pretty chill and we all played TF2 together in the days before microtransactions and HATS became a thing.
>Most of you fucks have terrible taste in video games and I have absolutely nothing in common with you.
Holy shit, Weeg, is that you?

>>374540807
But the fact is, Discords are already kind of a clique concept if you're trying to hang at a /vg/ thread. So when the Discord has one single clique, it confuses me why they bother leaving it open for people to join when they'll just end up memeing to the same people over and over.

I'm in one discord server which is made up of a bunch of irl friends and some Internet weirdos / foreigners we've picked up over the years. It's pretty nice honestly, they insist on using the voice part though even though it is garbage.

>>374540419
>Discords on /vg/ are clique havens. They might talk about the games but only in a self contained group, which is ridiculous since the Discord itself is already a group off the board.
Show them that you are worthy to be one of them. I used to get ignored until I carried the whole team in the game that we are playing. Also, it is approved that using an anime character and edgy name gives you a higher chance to get recognized since they will only talk to people that can get their attention.

/vg/ discords give me a giggle
>okay our thread is dying and needs bumps every minute because of how fucking DEAD they are

A quick Google search usually finds you a Discord for the game you want to talk about, but it's usually a Reddit Discord. The Betterdiscord third-party addon adds a server list to find public servers too. Don't think it has EVERY public server though.

I'm glad that Discord became popular though. It's a good service (so far), and it's nice to have a quick and easy way to be able to make something as vast as an entire discussion board in one server and then a little basic friend hangout on the next tab. The porn Discords are pretty good too.

I don't care if discords have cliques but then they always have to bring their shit onto /vg/ and then nothing ever gets discussed except the personal lives of a handful of faggots.

Then their drama gets posted and derails the conversation so you can't even ask have a discussion about the game without some nigger going "who cares about this game lol".

I use discord with my small group of friends. Most of our usage of it is just text discussion and sharing news/video links. It's nice to have voip in the same application for when we do get together and play games though.

Neato. Hopefully I can get some cute boys to send ass.

Discords have been a godsend for fighting games, especially the smaller ones.

Shit like "/v/ discord" or "/vg/ general discord" are retarded though and shouldn't exist.

>>374542069
If you try to weed out all the obnoxious faggots and idiots you inevitably come across people who take issue with you doing too much moderation and think there should be as little moderation as possible just because it's a 4chan group. And then there are a whole bunch of different people who have different ideas of what constitutes obnoxious behavior and what's banworthy and what isn't. It's just a big fucking clusterfuck of people with opposing views and coming from 4chan they sure as hell will make their contrarian opinions heard.

>>374543554
The secret is to not actively weed out those idiots, it's to just ignore them, they eventually leave or break some rules to get them booted out of frustration.

It takes some time, but it's worth it.

Maybe, but that also runs the risk of allowing the idiots to form a clique with the other idiots, and then you have two opposing sides in the same community and that's just going to lead to tons of drama and eventually the community disbanding entirely or splitting into two new ones.

Now that I think of it, the community I've been a part of did end up doing just that, before I joined them. They were in a community half filled with idiots so they left and made a new one with the ones they knew were cool. So maybe you're onto something.

Discords are also some of the most cancerous communities I've ever seen. If you thought reddit was bad, oh boy. Everyone feels the need to make one and spam links everywhere because there's no money barrier or basic computer skill barrier to creating one like ts/mumble. Just click the create button and you're ready to amass your circle jerk, assuring that the vast majority of discords are ran by power tripping degenerates of some sort.

>>374544001
There is always a risk, but it mostly pays off since the rate of decent to full-blown-retard is like night and day, even if we're talking about a 4chan spawned group, unless it's a /pol/, /b/,

Since that Discord died mostly due to inactivity, the general has a new one now.

Not him but you're right, I can't handle being in a non-anonymous community for very long so I'll usually just leave without saying anything, and I do have anxiety about using my mic.

How do you guys even find good discord servers? I'm not even asking for links just methods on how you are supposed to weed out the shit ones.

My personal experience with discord is that you literally MUST know people irl to get invited to good private servers because all the ones that are shared online quickly get infested with meme spamming retards.

Do you people just go through hundreds of public servers until you find one that isn't complete shit?

>>374545574
But the EU discord is very alive and has 50+ people online right now? The current NA one is also very active with 80+ people in it.

I use Discord because it's popular. That's the only reason I have it. There isn't a single server I like. It attracts too much cancer.

I want to make my own comfy community with a little IRC channel and/or TeamSpeak/Mumble but it's so hard to find like-minded people who want to play the same games as me, even on 4chan. It's such a shame.

>You will never have a comfy community that just hangs out in voice chat all day and even if nobody's talking it's nice knowing they're there

You can keep blaming the platform all you want, but in the end it's all on you. Just because you're unable to find any good communities on the platform does not mean they exist.

People who hate discord are usually autistic and hate that other people like to talk to each other outside of voice sometimes.
People who dislike discord also seem to have trouble making friends in games.

>>374555062
You don't join 4chan discords/servers, why the fuck would you ever do that?
The point of 4chan is that you post anonymously and the moment you attach a name to yourself you remove the whole point of 4chan.

You say that it's Discord that attracts cancer, so why not join a 4chan TeamSpeak/Mumble or IRC channel if that's so much better?

>>374554996
>The shit you're saying is like saying everyone that used Skype is a cancer, because most people you talk to is.

That's true, but, at the same time, I've spent a decade of my life here. I can't relate to people that haven't done the same. It's too difficult.

>so why not join a 4chan TeamSpeak/Mumble or IRC channel if that's so much better?

You've never hung out in a group chat? You just log on, leave it in the background, and occasionally rant or have other people rant about something and suddenly you have paragraphs of back and forth between each other or just simply pose a question you'd like an answer to and it'll probably work. Or you just share silly or cute stuff. You basically just get to know the people and spend time with them for enjoyment.

I've been a part of a /vg/ group chat for like four or five years now and it's mostly people who have been around from the start but that's what we generally do. I mean, as long as you don't talk about politics or religion it's generally a good time since you're just having fun.

Do you know what getting to know someone is? You can't instantly become someones friend just because you want to.

>>374556187
Not for years. None of my friends really play on PC any more.

>>374556465
Actually scratch that. I moved to PC and only one friend really was there with me, then he got a gf. The rest are on consoles or don't do voice chat

>>374556679
I understand how it is, I didn't have a group to talk to for like four years prior to these guys, it's just not an easy thing to find but once you find one you like you can stick with it. Sadly it'll probably die once people get older or get jobs, the one I'm in already went from 12 people average to 8-10 now.

>>374555630
>I don't know what thing is so it must be facebook normie shit

Being someone who likes obscure things doesn't mean you have to act smug about being retarded.

>>374557082
Probably doesn't help that I'm 26 and full time employed.

>>374556365
But what if getting to know people is compromising to your own views? A lot of these circlejerks have very disagreeable individuals at their core and while you may appreciate some of the folks, you are forced into liking all of them if you want to get in with them. One disagreement with someone in the middle and it ripples outward and your reputation is in shambles.

>>374557814
>you are forced into liking all of them

>no proper discord link posted yet

Confusingly, the beat Discords tend to be circlejerk servers from Leddit (ie zeroescapecirclejerk). A lot of users are secretly /v/ users (assuming from the talk), they don't take everything 110% seriously, and there's serious discussion on certain channels.

Websites try to both make you watch ads AND sell your data. I say: pick one. And if companies can't pick one well it's okay because I know how to choose. I'd rather have them sell my data than see fucking ads. But that's also because I know what to do to circumvent any real tracking of me and the data would be useless.
