   discord has ruined the definition of the word "server" for potentially an entire generation of people

     Discord and its consequences have been a disaster for online communities

     @esm also kinda ruined various communities before by taking away potential users, plus people seem to have a bad habit of hosting information for projects or whatever on a discord channel, like why do you need a glorified chat room with 18 channels for such things

     @esm i understand WHY they decided to start calling them servers, because they were trying to replace teamspeak and mumble which WERE server based so they wanted to make it as easy as possible to migrate over. doesn't make me hate it any less though. i wish they would just call them guilds like they do internally. it sounds cringe but after 7 years of using that word it would have sounded natural

     @didek @esm Forking means having a schism in the project -- one group of people stays in the original codebase, another goes to work on a new *forked* codebase, and both codebases proceed to diverge.

     On GitHub, however, forking means creating a personal development branch, frequently meant to be merged back into the original codebase. Not a schism.

     Really? Can you explain what's the difference?

     @esm Just like Discord ruined the word "server", GitHub ruined the word "fork".
