if anyone wants popcorn head to the melbourne discord
I was fully willing to join the discord until it asked me for my birthdate. It might sound a bit odd but I'm a fairly private person and it was a drop the mike moment for me. I mean, I know I can lie but it's the principal of the thing. I shouldn't have to give my birthdate in order to talk to people. Yes, I know, I'm just a bit old fashioned in some ways.
I generally avoid giving my info out but sigh its getting harder the longer im online
I would rather avoid popcorn head, so I think I'll stay here.
It has been like that for days, it's really very strange how they are so disconnected from the community they claim to be a part of.
I would assume they gossip elsewhere but no they just do it in the open
Its like when that antiwork og mod went on fox news to speak for a sub that originally meant "i dont want to work" and evolved to be "there are problems with our capitalist, workaholic society in which workers are heavily exploited". She just had absolutely no clue what the community was about anymore and embodied the stereotypical neckbeard internet loser
Why, what’s going on there?
mod circlejerk posting screenshots of the reddit DT. They also think hurstbridge has many alts.
Yikes. Does Hurstbridge have alts?
i doubt that. might PM her
Is that the same discord as the melb meetup one or diff?
the other one. They posted the link during the blackout.
lol what? Can you take some screenshots?
I've taken the one about hurstbridge. Won't post them publicly.
Can you tell from the Discord how many mods are actually involved? I was looking at them earlier, I think there are only two active, most of the mods did not have any recent Reddit history. I'm getting Wizard of Oz vibes, I thought there was a large group.
3 i'm guessing
Interesting. I think it was 8 listed on the sub. Presumably the others drifted off and can't be removed because they are at the top of the list. It would be more fun to come up with conspiracy theories though.
might be. It's hard to tell who's a mod on discord. Different usernames.
That's very non transparent. The mods could be three chipmunks in a trenchcoat.
no doubt of it
