Discord got big in online gaming because they offered a VOIP and text chat browser cliemt. Just copy or type the short link and you’re in in a minute. They also did free hosting which was huge.

Compared to Teamspeak or Ventrilo, literally just eliminating the steps of downloading a client, installing it, and typing in an IP address caused them to explode overnight. Also you could “host” without changing router settings (most kids/students have to ask their parents or jump through hoops for this).

Technically there was stuff like Skype but that never had the convenient team speak style chat rooms to drop in and out of freely.

Within months of suddenly getting popular, discord had a huge userbase that everybody was using already, and that momentum got us to the point where in some aspects its even replacing the role of wiki’s and forums even though its terrible at it.

And they killed most of their Jewish population! Wait…

I am sure your ardent support for thought policing will never backfire!

The FBI and most major media corporations hid the hunter biden laptop scandal from the public during the 2020 elections. CNN, ABC, NPR, twitter, Facebook and more colluded with the FBI to claim the incident was fake, despite eyewitness accounts confirming much of the information. Twitter banned users for spreading “misinformation”. The FBI quietly admitted the laptop was real after the election. No apologies were issued, many news networks issued no correction.

Whose side is the media on again?

Don’t get me started on how some CNN/NPR listeners I knew thought kyle Rittenhouse shot first at black protestors even up to the the conclusion of the trial…

Good to know they uphold this text by not publicly murdering and raping random civilians in their homes and proudly sharing the video.
