hello, my fellow micrasians
has halian ever used scary bolded text on you for reasons you think are unjust?
have you ever been made to take a few days off because you broke the atmosphere?
this is a rallying call for all micrasian discorders who feel oppressed by the very oppressive regime of halian the oppressor
note my overuse of the root word "oppress"
anyway, yeah. i'm creating a new micras discord, where true democracy will exist (:O)
and you will not be banned for liking beans or disliking server owners.
and i am giving everyone an invitation.

join at https://discord.gg/CSN7H4 today!

i reiterate, join "micras but not shitty" at https://discord.gg/CSN7H4!

If you want to behave like a child, there's a MicroWiki for that

Don't write it off yet - it might have enough mileage to get "'Tis But A Flesh Wound" :P

I always imagined Discord in the context of this sector to be like staying at a party too long at the end of the night when everyone's stumbing around blind drunk - that shady, febrile interval between the music stopping and the punch-ups starting. Maybe it's alright, but you have to go into it with low expectations.

I think I left the Micras discord half a year ago, and only now I remembered that there exists one. Needless to say, I won't be joining any subsitutes.

What am I doing wrong? :(

Probably nothing - I was merely projecting my experience of micronational AIM/IRC onto their modern successor. It's the game, not the players...

Still think you should've just joined the IRC

I'm pretty sad about this, since I actually sort of liked tablecloth kitten's monkey cheese-ish outbursts, just not in large quantities. Blepia's Discord server was way too much for me, while the MCS's had a good mix of him and non-him when he wasn't banned.

Probably being too lax about people acting like idiots, in truth. My feeling is that you're being too *strict*, but then, my feelings about these things are often wrong.

In my experience there's never been the sort of drama spillover from Discord that there used to be from IRC (this thread being basically the worst instance of spillover that I've seen). And I think it's the players that have changed: The most dramatic people have either completely left or have cordoned themselves off to servers not containing people they don't get along with. And we're too old to get into it anymore, anyway.

(Actually, if anything, the technology has probably changed in a drama-inducing direction. Discord lets server admins change people's nicks, it lets people edit and delete their messages, and it records backlogs and shows them to new people coming in to a server. I'm *glad* we didn't use to have access to those features, since there's pretty much no way we wouldn't have abused them to grandstand and bully each other.)

I don't think it was that bad at all... Granted, there was the occasional fight, but in my experience it was a very useful platform that probably made me stay in the community. It was through the IRC that I got to know some of the people behind the character.
