it being about "community" is entirely news to me, I used to think it was about games
that's why I'm clearly stating that I won't waste my time doing it because you can't even apply simple labels properly
oh I can apply labels very precisely, you just happen to disagree with where I draw the lines
I almost certainly disagree with you on the "gamer" label as well
the very notion that community is important is completely alien to me
which is why I'm so curious
you say it's not about the quantity of games you play, but being part of the community. And as we all know there's no single gamer community but rather a loose collective of overlapping communities, so which community do you have to be a part of to be a gamer?
you have to be an oppressed minority
one day we will get our affirmative action
but it look like
im not gay in the end uwu
@ZlaX you just said uwu, therefore you are gay

Belial has some pretty funny ideas alright, a week or two ago he was convinced (and to my knowledge, still is convinced) that the main reason Discord is so popular is because it has free speech, not that it was marketed to gamers.
well.. most Discord servers aren't gaming related
including this one 😏
you got any proof of that?
this one being non-gaming is just anecdotal
let's start with my small set
18 servers, 1 is a Gaming server (and it's a mobile game)
right, more anecdotal evidence
you didn't join 18 servers randomly, you carefully joined the 18 servers you wanted
I'm looking into the top servers
less than half are gaming related
what's more, even if we look at the servers as they are now, it doesn't prove anything in relation to why/how Discord got popular (which was your original claim - that Discord got popular because of free speech, as Discord has been popular for quite a few years now and the userbase has had time to change without changing it's popularity)
don't back pedal full speed
are you afraid of data now?
and what's even more, the proof of a server being non-gaming related doesn't mean it's here because it values free speech, it could be here because Discord is a very good platform (which was my argument)
most servers are Youtube/Twitch-based. Communities centered on "online celebrities", not gaming
I'm pre-emptively poking holes in the most obvious flawed non-arguments I could see you coming up with in support of your statement
