>The hundreds at SpaceX are doing Apollo-level breakthrough work, and it should not in any way be minimized due to tangential Elon-hate.
You're right. It shouldn't be. And yet here we are wasting our digital breaths talking about the man. And there's really only one person responsible for that.
yup - it's the users gooseus fault.
If you're wasting your breath talking about someone, it's not on them, it's on you. We live in a world where everyone should have realized by now that attention is the most valuable currency you have ... and yet people continue to use that currency on things they claim to dislike ... I have a hard time feeling bad for them.

Take it easy. It's not their official support channel. They have tickets like everyone else, with the added bonus that you can nudge them in their chat. You can take advantage of it or not, no forcing involved. The discord is more about community than a support channel. In fact they will usually ask you to open a ticket if you haven't already for direct support issues that don't look to be a general/shared issue.
Curious who is looking for "community" when it comes to their email hosting provider. The word "community" gets tossed around so much it's basically meaningless - but I mean, even in the loosest definition of it why would you want to interact with random people who simply use the same provider you do... like would you want a Discord server for your local gas station chain or power company?

Thanks for sharing this! Very interesting!
I believe de_dust2 is likely still the most played FPS map. Not sure which other map could have dethroned it. It can’t be Fortnite since Fortnite changes the map every few months and nowadays makes a new one every year or so.
I guess Blood Gulch from the time when Halo was super popular was a very popular map as well.
Then you also have 2fort from the Team Fortress games.
But yes I would say de_dust2 is very likely still the most played FPS map and it will likely stay that way.
The only other map that started in a non-CS game that I think has even a slightly close level of fame would be COD Nuketown.

What baffles me is that Discord is basically mIRC with some extra features but the culture just isn't the same.
It's not a discord problem it's an online culture problem. People now are addicted to trying to find things to be upset about and put people on blast for - make an off coloured joke in the old days and you may suddenly find your new best friend, now it's being clipped and shared on twitter and some one is calling your boss to try and get you fired.
It's not the tools it's the people

In the end, Streaming Services have proven to be nothing more than advertising platforms scattered with brief moments of content. The ads outweigh the content making it less cost effective than going back to Cable, which is still terrible also. Hence the need to pirate and control what content you see.
think you replied on the wrong post friend.

They wouldn’t protect it if it were a male oriented dating safety app.
because there is no subset of our current culture that would go scorched earth on them over the removal.
They aren't so much picking sides based on their moral compass more picking sides to induce the least harm to bottom line.

Say I were single and ended up being slandered on that site, what would happen? Sounds like the users on there are not the kind I'd want near me anyway.
That's the equiv of saying I don't need privacy because I have nothing to hide.
Just because you don't want anything to do with the type of people who would post pictures of you and slander / shit talk you doesn't mean that you should want that being out there to begin with - it's not like that sort of thing hasn't ever been weaponized against someone before.
The worst part is with this app there is a high chance you'd never find out that anything was ever said about you until the snowball is so big that it'll crush any attempt to slow it down.

Yet, the app is alive and thriving. For some reason, Google and Apple are protecting it.
because news articles and media are putting out this narrative that the site was a "safety tool" that was critical in allowing women to "protect themselves", instead of what it actually was: a gossip and hate-spewing site with zero oversight/recourse for anyone who is being slandered.
The app stores haven't pulled it because they are waiting for this to flow out of the news cycle and reduce the impact of this subset of our culture freaking out at them.
