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 it’s 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 he’s cool enough that I think we all assumed he’d notice the trend but so far hasn’t…
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 isn’t working), but I’m curious why y’all don’t 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 it’s obvious to me why he still does it — he’s making a bid for connection with content he’s interested in and thinks y’all would enjoy. We’re social creatures. Stonewalling can be incredibly hurtful.
You make a very good point. I’d thought of saying something helpful because I’ve 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 “It’s just a meme channel that you scroll before you get out of bed. Don’t make a big deal about it, Infinite”. It’s not my server, it’s the community hub of a patreon project, but I’ll keep your sentiment in mind the next time he does it and maybe send some positive guidance because you’re right, he’s at least making an effort and I’m not.
