Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. - eviltoast

    Stopped using Discord a few months ago. Not for any specific reason, just felt like I wasn’t using my time effectively. Anyone important added me on Signal, and then I deleted the apps from my phone and computer.

    I can’t put words to how much better my mental health has gotten.

    This doesn’t really relate to your comment, I guess, but just thought I would mention it in case anyone else is considering taking a break from the platform.

      What did you do on the platform out of curiosity? I felt similarly when I left other social medias.

      Discord I mainly use to keep an eye on early access games and dev updates, and occasionally ask or answer questions. Although I did get into it after deleting other social media so I may be subconsciously avoiding the more toxic parts of the experience
