General Discussion / Re: Alternative Discord Server - The Pilgrim's Path
« on: June 11, 2023, 05:25:34 AM »I've never liked Discord, personally, never was on Twitter. I am however on 4chan since it's peak comedy if you know where to look.
I've basically ignored the "community" for 5+ years now, but I purchased this game in the Starfarer era in mid 2012. I love this title, it's one of my all time favorites. Seeing the discourse around this game get hijacked and dominated for this long is distasteful, to say the least.
I just want a place to post where I dont feel as if I'm about to get punted at any moment because I'm walking on eggshells to avoid moderator wrath. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Mind you, it has its uses but trying to properly comunicate a complex, layered game like Starsector by vomiting one-sentence replies into a deluge of spam is in most cases fruitless and a waste of one's time.
This forum works more than fine. Everything can be explained all at once, media can be shared, beautiful things can be put togheder and, most importantly, there's coherence.
I guess the fact I have not been on Social media for 10 years (I'm 27) has got me rather biased towards anything less than a forum as a medium, it just feels like it diminishes and fragments anything constructive into tiny littlepieces that get lost in a flood.
Edit: As per the OP, good luck to you. Every single DIscord community I've witnessed has ended up breaking into a thousand pieces (servers) due to small, ultimately pointless disagreements creating untreatable fractures between people that can no longer get along. Know you can always find company in the forum; it's legitimately the best game related forum I've ever had the pleasure to spend time in.
