It's basically IRC with an enormous amount of bloat tacked on. Every time it upgrades - which is obnoxiously often - it'll have some new feature they want to force on me and I have to click on a popup to dismiss it so that I can do what I intended when I started it. And they've started injecting their politics into it too, which you'll see on startup now and then.

The mobile app is sitting in my "notification jail" folder three pages deep too, where apps that abuse badge notifications are kept.

What does "injecting their politics" mean? Like, adding rainbows for users who want representation in their profiles, and emojis? Are you that booty-twisted over some rainbows? Is HN the right place to tell you to touch grass, or should we take this over to Reddit?

I like it how it goes straight to "touch grass" when someone has a slightly different belief to someone else. Of course it must be unreasonable if they disagree with me!

Its a profile theme. Touch grass.

What a fitting username!

No, they're unreasonable because they're unreasonable. You're entitled to your pithy little opinions, but that doesn't mean they're correct. Come correct or stay home.

Are you the arbiter of correct ? I'm glad we all groupthink exactly the same like the automatons you are.

Correct when it comes to politics has, and always will be a matter of opinion, no matter what one group may pressure everyone to believe.

SUPPORT YOUR OPINIONS OR GO HOME.

Nope. Sorry. Your personal politics and opinions can be objectively, morally, ethically, legally, and practically wrong. On the topic of "woke" content, e.g. rainbows, gay representation, black history, etc., being against people being allowed to express themselves in ways that affirm themselves in ways that are best for the mental health and well-being, being allowed to love whomever they love without fear of legal or moral backlash, teach the true history of a people including the icky parts that certain demographics would prefer to keep hidden from the sunlight, and exposing the injustices of this country from a historical and contemporary context, IS morally, ethically, objectively, practically, and hopefully someday sooner rather than later legally wrong.

Your opinion, thank fucking god, does not matter. It's not "groupthink", insofar as all we are are just people who agree that treating human beings with basic dignity regardless of their social or racial standing isn't groupthink, just common fucking sense and what a decent person should do at the barest of minimums. And if you oppose that, guess what? You're on the wrong side of history, society, and progress. IF you don't like it, you're free to leave. But we're not going anywhere, so try not to cut yourself while seething at our existence.

Also make sure you subscribe to Discord Nitro, so you can upload longer clips of you talking to your camera in the cab of your 2017 Ford F150 Superduty wearing wraparound shades.

Also, nope sorry ;)

Interesting that asking for open discussion with supporting evidence pushes so many buttons for you.

Thanks for the input though. I feel like that we each have a responsibility to call out unreasonable comments when we see it. I hope you all do this when it counts and not just when it's easy.
Re:When Discord is open in the background, NVIDIA card will ... by dang on Saturday February 04, 2023 @02:06PM (#34657090)
The phrase "call out" is a bit of a red flag on HN because it's associated with all the worst flamewar, culture war, and internet drama stuff. You can make a substantive, thoughtful point showing how someone else is wrong without resorting to "call out" or shaming.
