    You don’t need to use Discord to watch Anime…if you want to talk about anime, just talk with actual irl friends about it. You don’t need a “community” on some weird social app. Go to a manga store, get involved in irl meet ups, etc.

    Well, it’s no surprise that they take down servers where people share torrents, etc. But pirated GIFs? Are you sure they’re not exaggerating here just to be safe? Anyway, ani.social’s chatroom is on Matrix, so I don’t think we need to worry (not that I encourage using it for sharing pirated content - that’s probably a bad idea)

    BTW, it’s #space:ani.social if anyone’s curious

    … Tenor gifs…? Seriously…?

    Anyway, stop using Discord. Learn to set up a Matrix server.

      I can barely even use matrix. They need figure out their UI and UX before it can become a serious option.

        It is a serious option. You were probably using a shitty client.

        I would recommend Sable, as it’s very Discord-like. I’m sure others have experienced good clients with features perhaps more specific to an anime community.

      Especially if it’s just for discussion. IIRC Signal has a desktop ap now too.

    I’m in a bunch of the actual fansubbing discords and none of them seem to be affected so I’m guessing it just ones trying to be official communities for the show or whatever

    At the same time, #Crunchyroll has a monopoly on #anime overseas, and removes most #physicalmedias from the store. And engineered tragedy, it feels like.
