"Folks, is a friend group discord server unusual?"

No, no it's not.

For context, Ive taught 1000s of students in a variety of subjects and setting scenarios...often critiqued being passionate about what i do, but...

Live chat, even with friends gives me anxiety. Im so focused on the game/mission I will go the whole round not saying a damn thing unless its "shooter/objective X here or there." Then ill be self conscience about not having said anything. Its a spiral...

Safe to say I, in game chat features and markers like in Hell Divers 2 of Battlefield 2 make games enjoyable.

I have never used it, but my impression was Discord was like TeamSpeak or Vent basically? So it’s just something you’d use if the game didn’t have built in voice chat.

Not the server itself, having separate channels for things like video games or books were reading or a food channel or a channel for both small wins like "I got the good parking spot at work" or grand victories like "I landed the raise and promotion"

Lmao we actually branched the DnD stuff out of "DnD-General" into its own DnD server for the six of us that play together in a campaign or occasional one shot. Great minds lol

My friend group has a general chat, a food chat, current events, and a few others so not weird at all!

Is that not the point of having a discord vs using WhatsApp (never used it dunno what it's like but heard it's popular), facebook messenger, or some other messaging app?

I don't think I've heard of a server that's just a singular chat room, but maybe I don't know enough people using discord
