I honestly don't understand how people socialise and make friends though gaming (lemmings.world)

I've been playing games for almost 3 decades and I've owned almost every Xbox, so the online factor is there and overall easily accessible but I just never got this community feel I read in some places, my most played games are probably WWE 2k14 and Tekken 7 and 8, yet I've never interacted with anyone, I don't have a headset and I don't wanna hear voice or chat while playing though, it just distracts me and I despise losing, but apparently the people connect, make friends and a few even found love while playing their favourite game.

I envy them.

Is like the only hobby I have and tbh it isolated me even more from getting any type of affection or contact.

Some people mention discord but that awful app is terrible plus people act weird there, is like the game is very secondary there and just post cringe stuff instead.

hot take: when people say "The discord experience very much depends on the people on the server" (which is a common refrain) since to me it seems you can always say that about any medium with communities I just replace it with "discord sucks"

Sounds like the people you hang out with on discord are poor company.

Discord does an excellent job of facilitating connections between people. If you dislike it because of the people you connect with, that's not a Discord issue, that's a people issue.

no, it is a discord issue

Also discord has been used for a drop in replacement for all kinds of things it is extremely poorly suited to do such as software help forums it is disengenous at this point to respond with that argument, so what if discord functions fine under ideal conditions with a group of friends?

That is a bare minimum expectation...

How does Discord cause the issue?
