I have to say, you're one of the most logically thinking individuals I've met on this site.

Thank you

What is it with Discord that you have been hearing, if you can be more specific? I have heard some rumblings as well.

I have read that they have a tendency like many companies to reset your settings to ones favorable to them whenever there is an update. This is often done to turn off privacy settings and such (other companies often use this method to auto subscribe you to their crap, often for monetary gain for them). I have also read that many hackers are using the site to trick users into downloading Trojans. Similar to the amount of plugins for WordPress that are nice at the beginning, but then add back doors once their plugins are widely used using updates. I figure at this point better to just avoid most of these sites as they don't do much for me but take my time.

Just curious, but what kind of writing projects are you planning? One thing I have noticed is there is a vast amount of writing overload taking place. Promotion methods are quickly becoming out of date as the mob rushes to implement them, as well as I think many people (myself included) are going into shock from information overload. There is so much contradictory stuff floating around, especially within groups that on the surface seek to achieve the same results. I am unsure how much is purposely done with disinformation to achieve this result, but it is effective.

I am thinking here that as soon as any group achieves a certain size that they will begin to notice some of those who were in from the ground floor will begin stirring up problems, creating a split in the ranks. People are cynical now, distrustful and for good cause.

I bring all of this up now as you are in the early stages and this is the time to be aware of all of these factors. There was a book that I read as a kid, an older sci fi book called Wasp.

I would urge you to check it out, as some of the ideas presented in it could be crucial in countering infiltration by those who would disarm any success you may have. Looking forward to understanding your project a little better.
