    The really small ones with friends or local organizations

    I can’t keep up with the big ones, I end up muting them all

      How can anyone can keep up with the big ones? I’ve tried it a few times, but it’s really hard to get a conversation going…

        It feels like yelling into a waterfall. I also don’t like when a server has too many bots and features enabled. The simpler it is, the better.

        Maybe I get overwhelmed easily, but I just don’t feel like participating if there’s constant spam going by

          That describes it perfectly!

          Yup, after reddit I tried it again and join a lot of servers… but as you said, it was just a bit too overwhelming.

      I only use FOSS software, protect my privacy as much as I can, both are extremely important, but people like you make it hard to convince anyone to even consider thinking about these subjects.

      You’ll never convince anyone to try it out with that attitude. I also recommend you don’t make assumptions about people, such as someone not using FOSS at all when they ask for your favorite Discord server. I know I used Discord as the last proprietary piece of software for a long time.
