    or interesting convos have a mod chime in and ruin it

    “hey guys can we move this conversation to x-chat”

      Right and when you step back and think about it, why create a conversation system that demands so much admin for moderators? A reddit-like system obviously still desperately needs good human moderation but the moment to moment guidance of conversation focus doesn’t require a human mod to always interject to refocus things, just an engaged and genuine audience.

        The one situation I think this is appropriate is with regards to NSFW. If you have minors or sex repulsed people coexisting with adults who like to talk about sex, this can be helpful. But it can be mega unhelpful if you have a sex repulsed person who likes to talk about kink and just make things weird.

      God I can’t stand servers that are Nazis for that. Guess what…natural conversation will change topics over time. I’m sorry I can’t keep up which of your 100 channels I need to jarringly break away from the convo and hop into whenever the topic even remotely, slightly drifts from what it started with. Discord channel Nazis don’t understand how human conversation works.
