> it because it serves their most engaged members so well, but it’s terrible for everyone else
I join a discord channel and honestly most of the time I’m overwhelmed. There’s often a ton of sub channels for every specific thing… that aren’t very active. It’s hard to get a feel for what is going on.
I join some only to find everyone is annoyed by my elementary question, but hell if I can find any answers in discord.
I just never know the lay of the land.
The handful of highly active people do, but that’s it.
Yup - the most engaged members are usually running the server, so they optimise it for their use. Multiple channels and categories make it easy to remember context if you switch often, and prevent recent relevant conversations from going out of scope too quickly.
