imo a discord server should be like a breakout room for fandom. like the place to run your wips by your besties or discuss your otp in more detail with a few people who were insane about it on your post or organise events with a handful of trusted mutuals etc etc. if it’s where ALL the fandom activity is going to happen it will inevitably foster a cliquey environment where the fandom is divided into “those in the server” and “those who aren’t”, lurking is disincentivised if not made outright impossible, people who feel uncomfortable joining in conversations and would rather interact with fandom through reblogging etc are largely excluded because there’s no repost mechanism, and the fandom itself becomes an enclosed space so new fans are limited in how much content and meta they can access without having to make the plunge into Joining The In Group, there’s limited scope for interaction between different communities within the same fandom, god it’s just an altogether dogshit stupid idea. what if we moved all fandom activity to really massive private groupchats. STUPID
#i am big proponent of forums#another benefit to forums is that they archive fandom for future fans#and they also encourage discussion in a less intimate and casual way#which is to say#when you are in a discord server#because it's instantaneous communication and much less public#you're often speaking in a very casual way with a lot of asides and banter that you wouldn't necessarily do when composing a forum post#and that's fine and all#but a new fan trying to find information - even if they've joined the discord server to look for it - will not want to wade through that

me at 14: “None of my characters are self-inserts! I’ve worked really hard to make them unique and interesting. I hate Mary Sues.”
me now: “they’re all self-inserts. every single one of them. a hundred various versions of me. I’m gonna rub my grubby hands all over every property I enjoy. are you going to stop me? no. you can’t”

If 6 year olds were YouTubers they'd be making 35 minute video essays called like "The Problem with Tag" "How Toys get You to Play Longer" "The Brown Cow Chocolate Milk Theory" "We Need to Talk About Pretend"
