Discord

General
Discord is a good way to keep in contact with a lot of people and a good way to get into a lot of communities as a lot of fandoms and artist have one nowadays. At one point I even contemplated putting up a server for it to work as a portal to my earlier webcomic-related ventures, thinking for it to take over from the old php-forum and gather it all in one place.
But, I've had to come to the realization that I simply cannot keep up with the servers I have already signed up for, and daily I come across new ones that sounds interesting, just for me to remember that I cant keep up with the 5-6 I am already connected to. Yeah, for some it probably does not sound many, but for me, it is.
Problem is that each usually branch out into 10-20 sub forums and whereas not all would be interesting to me, a good deal would be, and with a large membership, new posts sometimes come in as a flood which can be tricky to navigate when you just want to catch up.
This means that I usually leave most servers untouched and unread unless a message is specifially dedicated to me, then I'll stop by, and even then it can be tricky to pick it out.
So, I've made the decision to limit myself on discord to direct talks directly with specific people, or smaller discussion groups, no more adding of servers, and I'll have to evaluate the ones I am already on, but staying there for now.
Its not you, its me, and if you were already wondering why I am not so active around servers I am already on, thats your answer :)

No, the problem for me is more along the lines keeping up with the various chats on a server, especially over a dozen or more rooms, especially with active users... and thats just one server...
PS we foxes can purr but its not like cats.
