sorry that people are sick of your majestic mcus

Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

yeah no, discord just breeds performative assholes who talk over entire games versus just the few people who choose to engage with them

plurk is far from perfect, but discord is AIM without the cutesy sounds

no. AIM, ICQ and MSN were 121 messengers with the option of group chats. discord is like IRC servers with a trendy skin in that it's a group space with optional 121 messaging.

also they're not performing being an asshole. they're just assholes. complain if you want but if you strike up a false dichotomy you just look like you're arguing in bad faith.

"1-on-1 with optional chat" and "chat with optional 1-on-1" is a distinction totally without difference. 99% of my discord usage is DMs.

it's really not. we frequently don't use DW (and lots of systems) by it's intended usage but the fact that it was built with a different intended use comes out in the various barriers, loopholes and hacks we find to use it how we please. this effects the user experience a lot whether or not you see that. the difference between services that put their focus on group or direct comms change a lot of things from security protocols to moderation functions to HCI considerations that put more emphasis on the communal functions and not isolated user functions.
