So I had a very emotionally draining time recently. Are usually was on Discord, the chat site for video gamers. For the most part it had been lots of fun, I was able to meet lots of different people and usually able to make some good connections every so often with other artists.
BUT-
One thing that I have noticed is that the community by and large is definitely, vividly, worldly. And I mean it makes sense it's the world it's video games it's what people are doing. People make this chords not only for video games but also just as a chat room for different interests. Unfortunately sometimes that means anyone and everyone of every kind. This also means it could be anyone in every kind of person be there a young, old, or crazy. Recently I found more of the crazy.
I have decided because of drama that doesn't need to be existing in my life as it is, to just stick to Christian discords. That's probably how it should've been in the first place anyhow. Blain was smart enough to know this but was sweet enough not to make me come to that conclusion without realizing it on my own first.
So here are some tips when roaming through the world of Discord. For the least amount of cursing me and swearing most likely, try to stay out of the voice chats. They tend to be where most of the craziness comes from. Make sure also that you go to a server where everything is very carefully sectioned. Such as a gaming section, a meme section, an art section, ect. The less confusion that there is, usually the less likely it is for trolls to take advantage of that confusion and throw inappropriate content when no one is looking.
Parents, if your child is under 16 or even 18 years of age and wants to use Discord I would highly, highly suggest against it. Not only do the younger children tend to be very vulgar, but also they can be extremely immature and take things way too seriously during their games or general interactions.
I know for a fact that there was a 12-year-old child that was cursing like a sailor the entire time that I was on the chat and she was just speaking conversationally, she wasn't even trying to be provocative at all. That's another thing too if you happen to be an older person, be wary because there are a lot of tiny kids on this stupid site. Not that there's something wrong with kids being on a video game site, but the fact that they're trying to have but sure and or meaningful conversations with people twice and three times their age is probably not good. I had a little squirt try to private message me who was only 15 years of age, whom I have very promptly turned away from the conversation because I had told him that it would be considered inappropriate for someone of my age to be speaking to someone of his age in private conversation. Obviously he thought it was crap and proceeded to complain about it, but he'll understand later.
So by and large be careful.
