Absolutely agree. It's so difficult to hold a conversation, people constantly talk over each other and any time you get something of substance going someone jumps in with something irrelevant because they can't wait and derail the conversation. 0 social etiquette. I agree with you that there's this influx of people who show up for a few days and then disappear. Even worse IMO is the several people who will take over conversations because they show up once a month and think it needs to be announced every time they look at the discord.
It really does feel like a void people dump whatever comes to mind in, then dip. It does seem like the mods are trying, but it's like using buckets when a flood is coming in. Ultimately, makes no difference. I feel I've only made one genuine relationship out of the discord in the time I've been there, and they're great, but you'd think there'd be room to form more relationships beyond superficiality. There just isn't.
