You have to watch where you are if you call out a bot, you’ll have your comment removed and get banned. They tell you to report the bot and they’ll take care of it. Then when you report the obvious troll/bot they ban you for it. Some shady mods out there.
Mostly because of this. TikTok is the app collecting massive amounts of data on its users with dubious intent and questionable security that is currently being scapegoated, and discord is on the long list of popular apps that collect massive amounts of data their users with dubious intent and questionable security that we are not scapegoating.
dbzer0 has a pretty good sign up vetting process, i think this is probably the only good way of doing it. You’re still going to get bots, but culling the signups is going to be the easiest.
TL;DR just move over to dbzer0 and dont leave the instance :)
Also i think on sites like reddit, a lot of the downvoting is just “mass protest” theory in action, people see a comment with downvotes and then downvote it. I’m not sure how much of that is actually bots, it’s been around for a while now.
Similar boat (sans furry), and I’ve recently decided I’m tired of being lonely. I’ve started going to a trivia night at a local bar that someone from my church hosts, even though I end up playing alone each week*, and I found a MCC church (basically, gay church) and went there, where I found a gay men’s discussion group I’m going to attend on Monday. I have two friends, both straight, but I’m hoping to get them and some people other people either through them or through trivia/discussion group to help start a bowling team.
*Even though I’m the only one playing without a team, I’ve come in second twice!
There was a retail chain called Christmas Tree Shops, and while they weren't exclusively Christmas-themed, it was certainly a part of their brand. I recently learned they closed all stores after over 50 years in business.
