This happened to a meme channel at a favorite discord, one guy just started spamming like a dozen tiktoks daily and it drowned out / disincentivized everyone else, and now itās just an endless stream of face cams in vertical video that nobody watches and are likely a mirror of his personal feed. Nobody said anything to him because heās cool enough that I think we all assumed heād notice the trend but so far hasnātā¦
Instagram too. My mom sends me instagram links, my friend who has his business account there sends me instagram links, and no matter how many times I tell them that I cannot watch their instagram links they keep sending them.
Instagram videos can be embedded on discord by adding kk before Instagram in the link, too (same for tiktok when the embed isnāt working), but Iām curious why yāall donāt say anything or maybe set up a channel for him to share? The fact that this post has so many upvotes makes me feel a bit sad, like itās obvious to me why he still does it ā heās making a bid for connection with content heās interested in and thinks yāall would enjoy. Weāre social creatures. Stonewalling can be incredibly hurtful.
You make a very good point. Iād thought of saying something helpful because Iāve been that One Guy posting content for months on end to dead ears before, myself. I think maybe witnessing a few less-than-positive reactions to those sorts of critiques elsewhere on the same server kept me from piping up. Plus the voice in my head going āItās just a meme channel that you scroll before you get out of bed. Donāt make a big deal about it, Infiniteā. Itās not my server, itās the community hub of a patreon project, but Iāll keep your sentiment in mind the next time he does it and maybe send some positive guidance because youāre right, heās at least making an effort and Iām not.
