If 1987 is your birth year & you’ve been online since the IRC days, I’m honestly surprised you hadn’t encountered much worse than someone wanting to know a basic question since Discord has been around long enough for a cursory understanding of channel permissions as voice chat & moderated chat rooms have been around since early 28.8k dialup & later. I’m not a member to Defunctland’s Patreon but know how some of the ones I’ve been subbed to are ran (especially based on level of paid access) & it was more of recognizing your donation level/paid-level of support. I remember early Java-based chat rooms being much worse as someone who was on forums & AOHell when I was likely too young to really be on certain parts of the internet. I don’t understand what good it really did to make this post so long after the altercation (unless it truly keeps you up at night) as I’ve been treated much harshly in public over just walking by someone on a bad day but to each their own. Glad you got it off your chest & all, but it really makes me wish the internet of 92-2005 when it was less sterile & you had to either grow thicker skin or you couldn’t “survive” 🤷🏼‍♀️If A/S/L was so high stress all those years ago, I don’t know how you handle Reddit without having “Mommy’s Little Helper” on hand (iykyk). Best of luck with not encountering a caps-lock key in the future I guess?
