when I was young my leading edge 15" crt degaussed itself (which is weird right? idk maybe I inadvertently did it, it was almost 30 years ago) which scared the crap out of me because I thought I broke it and would catch hell from my parents. after I learned what happened I did that poo poo all the time :coal:

it's great as an 'irc with a nicer ui and built in voice chat' but yes it sucks absolute poo poo at being any sort of actually repository which is why it's infurating that more and more poo poo is moving onto it. i don't want to have to go through two discords to find starsector mods gently caress off post them on the goddamn forum or on a goddamn geocities page

naw its a very quantifiable and real problem. besides there are several wiki sites that you can log permanent info to. dont put that poo poo in discord pins

also at some point between now and 2025 we're gonna see some press release like "pinterest pays 4.7b to buy Discord" and its all over
