i bit the bullet and removed myself from all but the "essential" discord servers I'm in.

I'm still in 50 discord servers.

I miss forums so badly.

The struggle is real. I'm not even in ~50 servers (and I lurk rather than contribute actively in almost all of them) -- but still it feels both like a *flood* of info and an uphill battle to not miss vital developments

Maybe it's just the (bad) way my brain works, but surely there's a better way...

I missed the "forum era" -- so maybe forums were that?

joyeuxscribe.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yes, they were. Actually they still are !

Looks like you took the first step into minimalism. I recommened at least putting all the servers you don't check *daily* into a single folder named "unused". And maybe a second for "weekly". Because let's be honest about how much text any human can possibly absorb. 😵‍💫

It’s so tedious to stay up to date on servers and living in different time zones doesn’t make actively participating any easier.

Discord will never replace forums for me. I miss ‘em!

I have a lot of latent hobbies.

I mean shit you are right if I find the servers about kimchi making I'm going all out

farmergadda.bsky.social•50 days ago

I don't even participate, I just know if Something Happens in the related hobby, I'll only learn about it by being in all those Discords.

Yknow what, I realized I estimated and was probably overexaggerating so for the sake of honesty I went back to count, intending to eat humble pie.

I'm unironically in -49- servers
