    Yeah, basically only reason I am using discord is because I am trans and I don’t have much support and not much friends, or stuff to do in real life where I live where I can meet other trans or other LGBTQ+ people and discord is kinda only place for me. I will try maybe finding similar alternatives but.

    Also reason why I still use reddit, they just offer me faster communication with people due to bigger number of users, which I sometimes need because sometimes I do feel real bad but I do try to get more active on Lemmy and fediverse and I get that neither of what I am saying is the fault of fediverse.

      I kinda get what you mean. Sense of belonging and communication with people who understand you is important, never sacrifice your community in favor of some ideological quirk! Sure, there are good reasons to avoid reddit and discord, but they’re not good enough to cut yourself loose from people who make you feel like you belong!!

        Yeah, if I have good support irl it would make it easier for my privacy. But I will try being active here to make community bigger, honestly fediverse seems chill to me I like it.

        Yeah, thanks. I am already on Lemmy and Mastodon (lgbtqia.space) and try to be active on both. I just don’t get as much immediate reply as on discord and reddit. Which I am not blaming fediverse users, just in certain situations I need immediate reply. But yeah, I do enjoy being on fediverse and love it here :3 really chill and fun place
