Discord can be special, but at least for me, I find it hard to feel like a part of a community. Maybe it's because I'm older, maybe I'm nostalgically remembering how awesome the internet was back in the day. But, I find it extremely hard to make friends online and be a part of a community now. I tried searching out topics I'm interested in but I rarely engage with it. I find this to be true for 95% of the users.

Somewhere along the line, the switch from "these are people" to "these are random strangers on the internet" took place.
