Aye, we're all in the same position.
There was a couple of threads (one of which was in this XPiratez subforum) detailing the action that Discord took. Forum staff cleaned them up after unsavoury individuals from other social media platforms joined and attempted to post manufactured, defamatory content in an attempt to discredit the character of a number of users. Needless to say, posting false statements about other users is both immoral and against forum policy, and they were purged on the spot.
Regarding Discord, be advised that some servers concerning OXCE (including XPiratez and possibly even XFiles) has opted to migrate away to matrix.org since it has been witnessed first hand that Discord is unable to properly protect users from what is essentially libel. Not all OXCE servers will be moving platform, so you can still find the community mapping team, IDT crowd, 40k et al on discord.
For now, keep an eye on this forum. This place will still be used for everything XPiratez and there will be an announcement in the near future for those who wish to join in with matrix.org.
Thanks for sharing your side of events; mine work in the arctic sounds mad. Diamond industry?
