See, THIS is what modern technology was supposed to bring.
It’s so hard to organise a hangout with friends. Nobody knows when they’re available because they don’t have a proper calendar. Everyone just lives their life one day at a time, having no clue if they’ll be free next Tuesday for a pint or two. It’s so annoying.
The moment you start using a semi-public calendar, things become so much easier. People don’t need to see your events, just free/busy blocks. And when you want to organise something for a dozen people, that level of knowledge, combined with some AI (ain’t nobody got time to find a free time slot that’s good for everyone!), sorts these things out so quickly.
Sure, some 30% still won’t turn up but at least it’s not an endless “X can’t make it next Tuesday, next Thursday would be good except Y and Z are out of town, etc etc”. I have your emails, I have your availability calendars, let’s make it happen. Boom. Pub time scheduled in 5 minutes.
Move to Germany lol, everybody has a calendar. Downside is that you have to schedule meetups long in advance because everybody (at least adults) plan like at least a week, some like a month, ahead and we aren’t very flexible
There are plenty of 40+ non-pedo communities on Discord. You’ve got music production gear and synth communities like Dirtywave, Polyend, and Deluge, TTRPGs, software devs in general, and much more. Discord is also good for LFG, which is indispensable for any middle aged gamer who is too busy to have a regular gaming schedule and gaming crew.
Are you sure? This guy seems pretty sure everybody that uses the current most popular western online community building chat platform is a sex offender if they’re over an arbitrary age. Surely they must be right!
I’m on the Discord community for my metropolitan city along with many thousands of people from all walks of life and all sorts of ages, I need to head over there and let them know that apparently they’re probably all sex offenders!
Where are the kids then? Roblox?
Google Calendar apparently
Then, an idea struck: He sent the girl a calendar invite titled “Hook up?” for the following Friday night at 11:30 p.m.
That’s brilliant.

If you’re under 16 or over 40[pedo].
Discord might be the spot where all the cool kids hang out. Idk anymore, tbh.

? I think OP was saying being on Roblox over the age of 40 was the pedo thing, not Discord.
I could be mistaken though.
That’s what I gathered too! I think the downvoting folks are taking the comment in a vacuum, not considering what they’re replying to.
Tell me about it. AxeAndSickle is my go to for online gaming
