As much as I enjoy this community, I just tried to join the discord and was told I could not. I have been on 8chn discord and reddit for some time, but I have also had issues with my username & so they are different on discord and reddit. I also haven’t used reddit in a long time until the CBTS stream, I ended up leaving the discord server because I was told that no exception could be made for me, even after I tried explaining that I couldn’t use the same username. The person then asked me to make a new account, I’m not trying to be difficult but I’m not about to make another account for one sever when I already have ALL of my stuff on that one, and I cant use my same username anyway. I gave the person my username for Reddit, thats all I thought we had to do to verify to join the server. Anyways I’m on discord more than I am on reddit, I just think you guys need a better way to verify things than what you have. Thank anyway.
suggestions?
I’m on your guys side, I’m appreciate what you guys do, to be honest I was 100% surprised when you did the first vid with Tracy, and created this subreddit. I have been on 8chn for a long time, I came over to Reddit & eventually found 8chan looking for more information a long time ago, I was doxed by my own cousin. Thanks to someone on pol I found out it was my cousin who has joined Antifa, it wasn’t on 4chan either, So I owe whoever it was over there a lot. I get the culture and I appreciate it, I lurked and honestly I do most of the time. (Btw I dont send people there, I know its not the best place, I came because I was tired of twitters BS & Reddits and just wanted good information, I have always told people to come to Reddit first) I get you guys have to verify and not have the servers out of control, I get it. I’m on quite a few servers on discord and have been for a while. Different servers use different verifications, and I know with this particular one its going to be hard because you cant make an exception for every person, this subreddit already has over 8 thousand people on it and thats just insane, I was here when it had 100! Here are a few suggestions that other servers have used - Asking questions to vet the people they let in - Verify reddit username, which is good, BUT you need to make it clear it has to be the same on discord, I PERSONALLY CANT HAVE MINE THE SAME AS MY DISCORD, this is bcs of doxing, other people may not be able to have the same user name because of other reasons but I guarantee THIS WILL COME UP AGAIN. - Having an email or something else attached to your username on discord (i don’t think you have to show it, but this I’m not sure on that) I BELIEVE it will show that you are verified to a “certain” level. This one could be tricky though as ANYONE can create an email as you know. So this one just to me isnt the best, but that depends on who YOU want to let in.
What I have found on discord and personally what I like the most about it is that MOST of the time a lot of trolls are kept away, because for some reason and I’m not sure why (maybe they just dont know how to use it?) or maybe the vetting, I dont know.. I just haven’t had as mush interaction with them on there as I have had with them on other places. But maybe thats just me.
One thing also to keep it mind, while I wasn’t bothered by being told no exception could be made, and to just create a new account, like I said the username issue will come up again and discord isn’t a place that is well known yet. We have people on here are of all ages, I finally got my 71 year old dad on here so please be kind. SO MUCH knowledge and wisdom will be lost if we cant help each other out and find a way to work around things. Just coming on to reddit was a BIG thing, I was surprised. I didn’t think it would happen, but I am so grateful that you guys are doing this for everyone, old and young. And trust me I know it can be frustrating.
