@hikari@whitequark @erincandescent which is, incidentally, something that various places do for buying firearms? and i think we can agree that firearms are also high-variance tools, potentially dangerous to give to someone in the right/wrong mental state

@hikari@whitequark @erincandescent i resent this idea normally because of how it's been applied to transgender people having legal autonomy but i do feel like a pre-registration "reflection period" before getting access is not the worst idea

there are so many problems with discord, sure, but it also might be the last bastion of the idea of online spaces that actually belong to their users and not to the Company, among the big social media services that are not user-owned-and-operated@erincandescent I'm honestly not sure that public chat message history is a good idea for any service. I've only used a handful of things that attempt this, and it's very very weird. maybe the forums-like thing they added could be public, but…

the silos are sad but i also think they're the deal with the devil they have made to allow it to exist at all
all the sites that allow things to be truly public inevitably fall victim to the eye of sauron saying they should take away users' ability to moderate themselves and instead impose the Ultimate Truth on them
discord is a lot like twitter in that if you do not use it you have no idea what the appeal of the site is and that's what allows it to be good
