ReplyThe official D Discord is very political. I think it's time to stop that now. Tell the people that are doing it that they have to stop, or just stop linking to that Discord. Discord works well for discussing programming, it has good support for synthax highlighting, etc. So having a Discord is good, but one that is political puts people off.

I was curious what this was about, so I went to the community Discord and searched the history for your username. Here's what actually happened: you saw one user in the Discord with pronouns in their display name and threw a tantrum about it. Before that, everyone was talking about programming. As far as I'm concerned, that makes you the one "being political." | |||

Confirmed. No actions were taken from a moderator as it was solved using push back rather than using powers.
Public channel log shows OP was the source and was not entertained as acceptable behavior.
Our official stance on the Discord server is that pronouns are a normal part of the English language, it is not for us to judge why someone prefers one set over another as long as they are common and not at all offensive (say someone using god as their pronoun). For text based chat it is not always obvious what people prefer, or if they have preference that needs to be respected.
Further discussion on this topic will not be necessary. Being respectful of others is a requirement of both the forum and Discord.

I was in the Discord for a long time, but left a year or two ago because I don't like politics being infused where it doesn't need to be. | |||
