As an oldhead from the bygone days of message boards and forums, trying to interact with communities and fandoms these days has gotten so hard with everything migrating to Discord servers. I feel like I’ve only just gotten used to Reddit, but more and more now I’m running into situations where communities are migrating or have migrated to Discord servers.
Want to ask a question? Don’t make a post on the subreddit, join the Discord! Want to get in touch with with the community? The stickied thread hasn’t been touched in three months, so get in the Discord! It’s just kind of tiring.
A lot of the time I just have like one question or I want to share one thought, but you can’t do that anywhere else but the Discord, which almost always has tons of users and an entire onboarding process and a bot that announces your arrival to God and everybody when you show up for the first time. And then what, I ask my one question or put forth my one topic for discussion, then… either mute the server until I want to interact with it again 6+ months from now, or exit the server entirely now that I’m finished? It’s just so involved and implies so much investment for people like me who would rather be passive members of communities except for the once or twice a year something related crosses our minds.
