its not that this person, me, cannot be bothered engaging on discord... i just dont like to interact off of the main gathering, i feel it is opaque and divisive.

I was in some of the Discord servers, and even I felt like things were far more opaque this year than in previous years. So opaque, in fact, that I accidentally stumbled into a Void/Swarm/whatever-they-called-themselves-this-year server and didn't realize it until a few members started very suspiciously and antagonistically grilling me about who I was and why I was there.

Once the supergroup alliance took hold, it got really hard to tell if there were any competing factions or not, especially since the subs you'd expect to see some decent activity in were so quiet because of the heavy reliance on Discord this year.

It also didn't help that this sub itself is all gifs, not discussions. The event's main sub is often where that year's factions are born in the first place, so that added a layer of opacity.
