Ironically the same thing used to be true for forums :)

Someone really enthusiastically started a forum, added 420 different sub-areas and sub-forums. All of which have a maximum of 1-10 posts. Most of them by the forum admin.

Not only that but there seems to be a MUCH worse signal-to-noise ratio in every discord I've ever seen (when compared to forums), due to the more chat-like nature of the platform.

Seriously. One discord that I am unfortunately on has one person who just drivels on and on and on. But I can't mute him, and he does this even on channels that are the whole reason that I bother with it. Apparently there is little or no moderation possible, so everyone has to put up with his train of though word vomit.

It's not like IRC or forums are any better in regard to inactive accounts.
