That is likely a small fraction of Steam's data

2018-11-12 18:00:20 UTC  

you only need to have Discord active. As you use discord for everything. It has data on all games you play with it on

2018-11-12 18:00:29 UTC  

Belial back to the previous discussion, if you try searching or googling for terms like "Why did Discord get so popular", all that's really mentioned is that it's a lightweight (i.e. good) platform, and that it was advertised on Twitch. Nothing about lack of censorship so far like you claimed, no matter if I'm looking on Reddit, Quora, or some random forum

2018-11-12 18:00:38 UTC  

hell... hearing Discord sounds on youtube videos is now the norm, even

2018-11-12 18:01:19 UTC  

@Crow leddit and quota are lefty

2018-11-12 18:01:50 UTC  

the common ledditor wouldn't state lack of censorship as a plus

2018-11-12 18:01:52 UTC  

and the forums? those are lefty too right?

2018-11-12 18:01:54 UTC  

but it's there

2018-11-12 18:02:21 UTC  

This is all pretty much assertion

2018-11-12 18:02:26 UTC  

what do you think that happens in Discord servers from twitch streamers?

2018-11-12 18:03:06 UTC  

let me rephrase... why do you use this Discord Server?

2018-11-12 18:03:18 UTC  

this isn't a gaming server

2018-11-12 18:03:25 UTC  

this is for political discussion, mostly

2018-11-12 18:03:28 UTC  

in any case, since the top results for the terms I tried on both DuckDuckGo and Google mention good platform and good marketing as the primary causes of popularity, and these search results by definition are the most popular search results, it looks pretty clear-cut to me

2018-11-12 18:03:47 UTC  

Certified methodology (TM)

2018-11-12 18:04:16 UTC  

These are all empirical questions that nobody really has answers to

2018-11-12 18:04:23 UTC  

it's really not, but it beats "I feel it is the other way for everyone because that's how it is for me"

2018-11-12 18:04:34 UTC  

really not certified methology

2018-11-12 18:04:36 UTC  

The accepted wisdom is what Crow is saying, but it could not be the case

2018-11-12 18:04:42 UTC  

@velvitonator I made a personal question, he can certainly asnwer that

2018-11-12 18:04:47 UTC  

The question is: what supports the case

2018-11-12 18:05:08 UTC  

Why he uses it is irrelevant; you'd have to establish he's representative, which there's no way to do

2018-11-12 18:05:16 UTC  

oh for me Discord is part gaming part "forum 2.0"

2018-11-12 18:05:27 UTC  

And, given that he's a user on the server of an independent journalist, I doubt he's representative

2018-11-12 18:05:47 UTC  

@velvitonator that's my point though

2018-11-12 18:05:57 UTC  

everyone makes Discord Servers

2018-11-12 18:06:07 UTC  

not just gamers, though they are the target audience

2018-11-12 18:06:35 UTC  

why does everyone make Discord servers?

2018-11-12 18:06:38 UTC  

Nobody is denying this; the debate is about relative proportion

2018-11-12 18:07:13 UTC  

My guess would be that most people don't even user servers period, or just ones for their friends/gaming groups or whatever

2018-11-12 18:07:15 UTC  

there are for example SJW Discord servers, those actually want censorship

2018-11-12 18:07:16 UTC  

But it's just a guess

2018-11-12 18:07:34 UTC  

they can only apply it to their own servers

2018-11-12 18:07:36 UTC  

let them

2018-11-12 18:07:36 UTC  

as a general rule, #NotAllSJW and all that

2018-11-12 18:07:46 UTC  

I said no censorship from the company

2018-11-12 18:07:50 UTC  

yeah but why are they here?

2018-11-12 18:07:58 UTC  

nothing stops you to censor whatever you want on your servers

2018-11-12 18:07:58 UTC  

why would they use Discord?

2018-11-12 18:08:39 UTC  

your server, your rules. Discord doesn't step in unless there's reports and the server is big

2018-11-12 18:08:40 UTC  

that's it
