the fuck do you mean discord?!
Screenshot of a popup in a Discord server "Host your own game server" "Spin up a server, and start playing in seconds using Boosts! Pick from titles like Minecraft, Hytale, and more."

@pancakes remember when discord tried to go full in on like formal and office applications during lockdown and then after that failed as was expected they tried to go back and be cool with the gamers again and kept failing

@pancakes I suspect the boosts thing is to encourage crowd funding in a sense - like promoting your server and trying to get people in and to commit their boosts to you.
