Comment on A chill gaming community for the 30+ crowd

• Anissem@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I’ve left many toxic communities in the past, and over the past 6+ years it’s been a positive outlet for me. I left all forms of social media a while ago, so it’s nice to have a pressure free outlet with people who understand having little free time but still an interest in gaming. Currently I have lots of free time since I’m between gigs, and I know I’ll sadly have to go back to being less active. Other groups in the past I even got booted from because of similar inactivity. It’s just nice to have somewhere to be. Hope you enjoy it!

    It’s crazy to hear you’ve been booted for being inactive! It’s not like Discord has a limit on usercount (…do they?). I’ve know people who disappeared for a year+ only to return like normal. Life happens and it’s best to leave the door open for anyone to return someday.

    I also don’t use other social media outside the fediverse. Public discords have always been a gamble. Mods can only do so much to filter out children/assholes. Private discords tend end up in a death spiral of inactivity in my experience. This one sounds like there’s a ton of people, so hopefully it continues to thrive!

      The first few I came into had weekly attendance requirements, and you’d hit up after a week or so of inactivity which was super stressful considering I wasn’t attending due to work and life stress. This new community I’m a member of definitely understands that. We have parents, working professionals, retires, all sorts of people from all walks of life.
