   Update: Discord was even worse than I imagined and I deleted it again, but at least I can say I gave it a fair shot. I get that I'll never actually be helpful to any group because of this, but why in the world is anyone on this capitalist hellscape of a messenger?

     Finally broke down and got on Discord. It's every bit as trash I as I remembered, and I feel vaguely gross ethically, but I've just got to keep remembering that you have to meet the community where it's at and I can't selfishly expect the community to change just for me. The work of organizing is more important than my dislike of the tools that don't match our values.

     That being said, I will be limiting my use to #IWW business only and will *not* be joining "just for fun" discord servers.
