The way I moderate hasn't changed
...

Whether if discord/IRC really harms sites, that we used to have an active discord server (that I repurposed into notifications-only until it getting b&), or how Heyuri has promoted usage of off-site Discord/IRC places until I became admin aside (since they are all different topics)

How you said you'd defend every and each banned user also aside (since it's unrelated to the current topic and we've had issues with certain users bringing up tens of topics at once while we're focusing on a single thing)

What I think about your deleted "Delete this thread" post in that thread (which I'm unsure of, since backseat moderating aside, Futaba Channel has users replying "del" to threads in a similar way) out of teh way too...

...

That thread isn't promoting any specific Dicksword server. In the past I've deleted or AS'd threads doing exactly that, but I think that user is just a bit clueless about the stigma around Discord servers or their effects on imageboard communities. I think they were just genuinely asking if there is a way to privately or publicly chat with individual Heyuri users, and the thread too mostly evolved into that way (with mentions of the Japanese-style CGI chat, prevalence of XMPP instead among Heyurizens) instead of discussing whether we should or not have a Discord server again.
