This is a short podcast where I talk about Discord’s good things (socializing and connecting people) the bad things (grooming and negative anonymity) and the ugly (the money making schemes and viruses).
I talk a bit about my own experience but luckily I don’t really have experience with the bad things so that is a smaller part of the podcast then I hoped. Hope you can still enjoy or at least learn something new.

Wow, Victor… I am honestly surprised by your caption in which you mention you do not really have experience with the bad things, while you definitely experienced a significant bad thing. I am interested as to why you do not consider the ugly part to be just as much of the bad part.
By Ugly I mean the money making things on the platform, I have received plenty of scam links and offers for things that don’t seem exactly right but I don’t count it as the bad because it doesn’t come close to the trauma that can be caused by grooming. Thank you for your empathy and commenting though!
Dear Victor, just a few days ago someone asked me if I was willing to join a Discord group with all the students from the University. I honestly did not know what this platform was, I had never heard of it before. Thus, your podcast gave me a good overview and I am wondering whether I should download it and try it. I like the fact that you can connect with a lot of people from everywhere and chat with whom shares your interests. Personally, I am not a gamer, do you think there are servers for all kinds of passions? It somehow reminded me of Clubhouse, do you think that they share some similarities?
