I ventured over to the website "disboard" to try to find more online friends that are at least slightly left of "hunting the poors for sport"
I came across "Leftist Alternative" and I'm 99% convinced this was a fed honeypot
https://disboard.org/server/1085633149540777994
I answered all of their "prerequisite/verification" questions. Mostly my answers were of the variety of "Amerikkka imperializes the planet for the 1%" and "it's not the left vs right, it's the 99% vs the 1%"
They gave me a LOT of push-back for not acknowledging the "genocide" in China. But it really went downhill when I said that the imperialism of Ukraine by both USA and the Russian was/is a fairly nuanced topic.
Obama Admits US Role in Ukraine Overthrow
Pro-US, Nazi-glorifying government
Ultranationalism, anti-semitism, neo-nazi pogroms, and attacks on LGBT groups.
Ultimately I ended with, "Every war is a banker's war" and included I was against any/all imperialist movements (including Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Haiti, Congo, Liberia, and Sudan), but I could definitely see why NATO advancing, despite saying they wouldn't move a single inch towards Moscow, would incite a push from Russia to get their old trade buddy back (not to mention Blackrock/JPM front-running grain futures before the invasion and then vying to steal the mineral rights away from Ukraine in exchange to build it back up)
This really set the feds off..
"OH YOU HATE JEWS DO YA?" - 'Leftist' Alternative
"Wait... huh?" - Me
"A 'Bankers' War Huh??? We could just tell you were an anti-Semite"
"Are you insinuating.. that all Bankers are... jewish?" - Me
It immediately devolved into ad-hominems from the "lefties" so I left that right-wing hell-hole :(
Is Every "Leftist" Discord a Fed Honeypot?
Or are the lib 
really just that deeply ingrained at this point?
Edit: Missed an end "
Discord is a proprietary social networking site geared toward grooming children into making their social life dependent on their app. Discord has zero encryption, meaning that all your messages are WORLD-readable by anyone who gets access to the Discord servers, this includes your direct messages.
There's is no need to make it a fed honeypot, it's already is designed to compromise anyone who uses it. Like, everyone gets press reels of Elon Musk and Tim Cook but have you actually seen or heard from a Discord exec?
Most people use it because of the network effect (Discord is only compatible with Discord, forcing users to be trapped within its sphere) and that it is free of charge (which, of course, attracts a lot of children who are then easily indoctrinated into reactionary Discord chatrooms). There's no "enshittification" (which is an incredibly
term that deeply unserious people use), Discord has been designed from the start to be like this.
I have a small friend group and we have our own discord server to play games with each other, what alternatives do we have? I wasnt aware of discord being so bad.
I hate to be that guy but you don't have a discord "server" that's your own. What you have is a chatroom (within Discord api it is called a guild) that's hosted on Discords centralized network. Discord has the right to fuck you over at any time for any reason. Nearly all ruling class owned social networks operate like this.
Most people use Discord because they enjoy the free VoIP service that Discord gave out to all users. This actually killed a lot of VoIP companies because why pay for serverspace when you can monkeywrench discord into your needs. Discord was always a predator from the get go and was enabled by people wanting free shit but not thinking about the ramifications. Couple that with longstanding world poverty and advertising to impressionable children and you can see how Discord grew into a gigantic tumor it is today. Discord never took the spotlight like Facebook and X dot com so it creeped into people's routine unabated. It's an antisocial media site that grabbed the most loyal audience who themselves grabbed and lured other people into it.
If you and your friends don't want to self host a VoIP server like Mumble or find Element's embedded Jitsi Meet voice calls too different to use then I'm not going to finger wag you or anyone else for using Discord because you like their proprietary VoIP service. But if you can live without Discord's VoIP you should consider switching to matrix.
We only have Discord for voip, chat room and screen share, we dont know or use any other thing, and I guess my friends dont care that much about changing to something new. Is it that bad? And Im saying this by only using the program to talk to my close friend group of 5, never bothered with anything else so Im sure Im blind to the problems.
You can try out matrix. The element client is a good choice since it mimics a lot of Discord's design. You don't know a lot of these things until you try it out for the first time and you may be pleasantly surprised.
I will try it myself yeah, but convincing my friends is gonna be hard.
