cannot tell if *I'm* getting more ornery / opinionated / argumentative due to Old Age(tm)

or if the mainstream internet is genuinely increasingly bubble-y and does the whole 'hammer down the oddball nails that stick out' more?

~~(or both?)~~

( i may have gotten into some mini skirmishes on a discord server or two >__> there was a dude that had some slightly --only slightly!-- heterodox thoughts on the indie web and some folks took it as "disrespect" when it was imo only a difference of opinions on [checks wrist] the server itself thinking it was a "community"??? i didn't even know the server thought of itself as one ... or felt like there was "respect(???)" owed to it... red flag imo! given they partially walked back the "disrespect" comment when i said "i don't see any?", just aaaaargh -

asdcvfbhjkl;;; jesus christ i hate that kind of insular echo chamber, gives me proto-ideology vibes. don't think i'll be staying there longer.

discord servers are so ... I don't know how to describe it exactly, I haven't been in all that many. They're so intimate, and at the same time, I get the sense that everyone on a given server conforms to the personality and tastes of whoever is loudest. And that person (or group of people) is often a bit narrow-minded, a bit of a bully ... and frequently they're mods as well XD The only discord server I've been on that I've actually, totally liked only had 4 members lmao

100% to everything you said about discord servers, heh, was nodding the whole time. The good ones really are about the tight small group where everyone already knows each other and there's unusually chill personalities.
