Complaint Review: R/drugs discord -

R/drugs discord mods are n**i. I have been a long time lurker of the R/drugs reddit and I wanted to join the R/drugs discord for fun. I was just hanging out in #cannabis chat for about 30 minutes and it seemed like things were going well and i would stay. But quickly i learned these people are absolute degenerates. I cant even sleep at night because of the traumatic s**t i have seen in that server. 

There is a user in the R/drugs discord that goes by the discord username (shooting up thermal paste) or something like that. At first we were just talking about our favorite things to do, favorite videos games, favorite books etc.

But soon after i started talked to him i got tired of his brain-dead drug induced rants and told him ill be going to a different place in the server to talk. "Thermal paste" didnt take this news well. He started screaming into the microphone and smashed his keyboard and monitor. I thought maybe it was some kind of odd joke but he called me the R word in dms and i promise im not retarded.

After this he called up one of his r/drugs discord moderator buddies, shmail, and they added me to a group chat. In the group chat they called me mean names and i yelled profanities (not the lords name in vain) back at them. After this we made up and started kissing but thats not the point of this report. I was tired from what happened after that but decided to give the #stimulants chat a try.

As soon as i entered the #stimulants chat i saw indescribable horrors i will never forget. Cynzic was in there "stimfapping" and even though i kinda liked watching it i was mortified. This scarred my young 19 year old virgin eyes for life.

After that day ive been smoking meth and stimfapping with shmail and cynzic daily. Well one day i called someone the F@g word because they were being sus and i got muted for 1 hour!!!! in the middle of what we were doing!!!!! its truly unbelievabe how they are still running this piece of sh*t server. Why cant i just say a slur its not that bad u just dont like me cus ur a stupid libtard. After that i left the server for good and rethought my life. 

They wanted to talk to their gaming friends even when they weren't in a game, and they wanted to talk about things other than games. Their gaming friends were their real friends. As luck would have it, in early 2015, a new tool called Discord showed up on the market. Its tagline was not subtle: "It's time to ditch Skype and TeamSpeak." It had text chat, which was cool, but mostly it did voice chat better than anybody else.

Early users set up private servers for their friends to play together, and a few enterprising ones set up public ones, looking for new gamer buds. "I don't have a lot of IRL friends that play games," one Discord user, who goes by Mikeyy on the platform, told me. "So when I played Overwatch, I started my first community … to play games with anyone on the internet.

You'd play a couple of games with someone, Fast-forward a few years, and Discord is at the center of the gaming universe. It has more than 100 million . monthly active users, in millions of communities for every game and player imaginable. Its largest servers have millions of members. Discord's slowly building a business around all that popularity, too, and is now undergoing a big pivot: It's pushing to turn the platform into a communication tool not just for gamers, but for everyone from study groups to sneakerheads to gardening enthusiasts.

Five years in, Discord's just now realizing it may have stumbled into something like the future of the internet. Almost by accident.
