I've considered setting up my own matrix server for friends, but well I've noticed ppl are unwilling to adopt new tech like matrix, and pc would drain dorm energy limit.
All social media is bad in some way, but I feel that while I had bad experiences on all major platforms, Discord is by far the worst.
There's so many servers run by people who are unfit to run them, whether due to power or greed complex, mental illness, or immature/irresponsible. May just be my experience (I was a real mess and a cunt during my teens), but even when things weren't my fault, it felt so toxic and horrible.
And not to mention Discord's practices and stuff as a company. For instance, getting rid of the reporting system for bad actors, at one point an employee giving a bad actor backdoor to accounts, allowing them to access freely. More than that, but that's all I care to mention.
I visited the Cliffs for the first time last year I believe, and I had a great time being up close to the cliffside. Me and my mam went along this cliffside walk that was difficult at times, but got us a great view.
When we finished and walked along the road to the visitor centre, it got incredibly foggy. But we made it, and when we were there, there was so many tourists that saw the visitor centre and the little lookout, and barely anyone besides locals walked the trail.
So for the council to capitalise on people wanting to see the cliffside, it's clever. The tourists can do the walk for free if they choose, the council knows a lot won't, mainly from laziness or time limit. They're just getting the bag, I respect it.
