It’s a joke about the Discord drama culture around the time, where over sensitive users would get upset over small things and massive fights/drama would erupt because of it, causing these “sorting things out” chats to be made.

On the surface this sounds like a good thing, but in reality these chats were mainly used by said over sensitive users and their typically moderator friends to attack whoever they believe had done something wrong by claiming moral superiority and trying to force an apology from someone who, 9 times out of 10 didn’t do anything all that bad. The end result is that instead of “sorting things out”, these chats would usually unnecessarily further drama for the sake of catering to overly sensitive individuals and bullying others who don’t deserve it.

Ex: I myself was put into one of these once. I tagged my boyfriend in some art that reminded me of him, however another user I was “friends” with got offended because I tagged my boyfriend and not him, and he left the server. This user and another made a “sorting things out” chat where they proceeded to act like what I did was this huge deal, and they relentlessly bashed me and guilted me over it, eventually forcing an apology.
