It’s your proposed solution that’s the problem. The answer isn’t to make Discord public, it’s to convince people to move off of it, and quite honestly, if you want people to leave Discord so badly, you’d be better off setting up separate public forums for the open source projects you are interested in on your own and convincing/bribing respected members of the Discord to post there, or copy/paste technical info there.

I feel the same way about Lemmy so I sympathize with you, honestly.

It’s purposeful. The system is collapsing and the only option they have is to lie to people to convince them to continue participating.

For open-source projects and stuff that needs to be public, I can feel you.

What these chucklefucks are asking for is to make ALL Discord content indexable and searchable, even extremely private intimate things, and that’s absolutely unacceptable.

No one wants their private/semi-private chats to be indexable or searchable. The whole POINT is to not have what you say broadcast to all and sundry.

I just now realized I was justifying a 196 meme with a serious response. I need to go touch grass

That’s just rhetoric people tell themselves to convince themselves they have power they actually don’t.

You know what happens when you tell an enemy you forgive them? They respond, “Excellent! I’m no longer responsible for doing THIS,” and then they repeat the behavior you sold out your self-respect thinking you could score a gotcha moment over.

The real answer if you actually bother to ask right wingers is that they genuinely feel disgusted and repulsed at trans/NB people, and they’re only acting on their emotions.

You all are way overthinking the problem

Man, why does humanity have to be like this?

They could put in a bunch of high-O2 producing plants like mother-in-law’s tongue and be relatively okay-ish.

🤔 There should be a fediverse-wide rule against genocidal rhetoric. Who cares what side it’s from?

Oh stop. The government should be running the pharaceutical industry then, not private companies.

Stop simping for evil corporations that don’t give a shit about you.
