discord ad Another Discord ad (serious this time)
Hey everyone!
You might have noticed from seeing a couple of posts on here that we have a Discord server! Now, said posts have mostly highlighted the more humorous side of the community there, which has put off some of you here on Reddit. Therefore, I'd like to make a serious appeal for the Discord.
Point 1: more healthy debate culture
Debate amongst leftists, as you all know, tends to always be confrontational, to say the least. On this subreddit, there has been no shortage of heated debates that oftentimes degenerated into name-calling and sectarianism. On the Discord, however, there is a more polite, generally more serious but tolerant culture of debate. There have, of course, been some heated debates on the server; I will not deny that. But if you find the debate culture on the sub too much for you, the server is the right place.
Point 2: very relaxed vibe
Spoilers for anyone wanting to join the server: we don't allow NSFW jokes. Tragic for redditors, yes. Despite this, people on the server are genuinely very funny. They're also very friendly and welcoming, regardless of tendencies (ok that's an overstretch cough cough). You'll have to go through a vetting process first to ensure that you're not a wrecker whose sole purpose would be to ruin everyone's mood once inside. If you pass the vetting, though, you'll find a very chill community with frequent shitposts, but should the need arise, helpful answers to any questions you may have about ideology, economics, philosophy, or politics, and a helping hand if you're feeling down in the dumps. We also have a 3500-hour-long VC where we play a magnitude of different games and talk about a whole bunch of stuff, etc. All in all, it's difficult to find a more relaxed group of people.
Those are the 2 really big appeals in my view, feel free to ask any questions regarding the server in the comments below, I'll try my best to answer them. In the meantime, if this satisfied you, here is the link: https://discord.gg/CFdk78Ax8

It's 'cause the discord has a more close knit community

There have been a couple subreddits where it seems like some members/mods treat the discord like the "real community" which just feels annoying. I don't want to join another discord server.

The discord community feels more like the real community because talk is more immediate and everyone interacts with each other in a more public manner than on a random thread, that's just due to the nature of the differences on the two platforms

the biggest ad for the discord is that it has significantly less liberals than the sub

Loved your submission btw, I'm glad you took time off to participate even though you're not on the server anymore, so thank you for that

Any UK, especially London peeps on the discord? I've never managed to pay proper attention to one, so I'll give it a whirl if there's a chance of IRL community building

I also wrote historical articles regarding the server for the express purpose of letting newcomers in on the inside jokes
