Haha, yeap, I think you're right about which server too.
You make a *lot* of sense there no worries, and it's a little validating to hear to tell you the truth, not selfishly but just more of a 'ahhh so that's what was going on' sense.
I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on discord with your modding experience - it's a whole 'nother viewpoint and you've almost absolutely seen these kinds of various conflicts play out over and over at least in a way that rhymes, if not repeated exactly so. The comment about needing to form a community from the very start makes total sense in hindsight - clarity of rules and a north star, yeah.
(It's also making me think back to forums and why it "felt" more like a community back in those days - folks who weren't members could scan the forums and messages and get a bead on whether they would feel welcome there, and sort of self select themselves out if not. and just ... intuitively it feels like it's more transparent as a structure, though of course I could be wrong.
would love to hear your post when/if you feel ready about it, the nuances of online social behaviors is fascinating as hell. : )
