@af2 my pronouns are set to dude/duder so it's only a matter of time before someone tries to buttfuck my account lol.

it's hard to get away from discord though because it involves convincing like 15-20 people to move to something else JUST to talk with me and i already had a hard enough time doing that when i left facebook. hard enough that i had to make another (more anonymous) facebook account to reconnect with people.

@af2 leaving discord, i know the only person that follows me is my brother and nobody else. so yeah, definitely a good way to not have contact with anyone ever again, very cool.

you have to make some compromises to be social sometimes. the vast majority of people will not go through extra hoops to keep in contact with someone if they have other people that are more readily available, all of us included. i would rather have a low profile on discord and pretty much only talk to people in DMs than make many friendships even more inconvenient than they already are.

it's like why people will stay in a city or state they hate because they have family there. it's a compromise that's worth it and it's not like you're going to convince the entire rest of your family to move somewhere else with you that has more agreeable laws or something.

and yes, i do literally need to be on both discord and facebook for the time being because i'm not a dick hole who isn't going to pay people for their work.
