CliveRosfield@lemmy.world 4 months agoModeration is a requirement with anything involving people so I don’t see that as a discord specific problem. If anything it’s easier than a forum since I don’t have to deal with spam bots myself for the most part.
The channel wipe thing is fair. You’re right about that.

i dont see how it would be easier on discord, discord is literally known only for bot/hacked account issues. I’ve never seen a spam bot on a forum before.
Plus nobody is likely to target a forum, everybody is targeting discord already. And on top of that the discord banning/automoderation isnt great, i’ve heard its getting better though.

I follow a niche community and the recent bans for their board is all spam bots even in 2024. I don’t want to put up with that nonsense and discord actively tries to curb that so the choice is easy.

idk you’d have to compare it between a few forums, and a few discord servers of the same size in order to figure it out.
I’d still be surprised to see people actually botting forums. It really just doesn’t make any sense.

I mean I have compared it and bots are still relentless on forums.
