I used Discord from 2016 to early 2020 to substitute real life and it was the worst time of my life looking back at it.
If you are at 0 frens and social skills, it is a nice starting point to get back under people but don't stay there forever.
Do any of you use Discord or are involved in local hobby communities?
I'm depressed and lonely. For the longest time, I've only been involved in anonymous online forums. But recently I have decided to paint miniatures again and went to a local hobby store. They have a discord and I joined. People find other people to meet up for all kinds of games, rpgs and hobby stuff. I think this might be a good chance to find real life friends instead of reading the ramblings of deranged schizos online.
Yes, my WoW guild's.
I am great friends with all of them.
They are mostly quite normies, so i won't discuss with them about some race and IQ or the JOOS shit, but other than that they are quite chill out people and i can enjoy my gaming with them without feeling too awkward.
There is this kinda unspoken rule that no one brings up politics, and i am 100% fine with that, as otherwise i am sure i would absolutely hate some people i like as of now.
Not everything needs to be fucking twitter with 247 politics going on.
