    This happened to a meme channel at a favorite discord, one guy just started spamming like a dozen tiktoks daily and it drowned out / disincentivized everyone else, and now it’s just an endless stream of face cams in vertical video that nobody watches and are likely a mirror of his personal feed. Nobody said anything to him because he’s cool enough that I think we all assumed he’d notice the trend but so far hasn’t…

    Instagram too. My mom sends me instagram links, my friend who has his business account there sends me instagram links, and no matter how many times I tell them that I cannot watch their instagram links they keep sending them.

      Instagram videos can be embedded on discord by adding kk before Instagram in the link, too (same for tiktok when the embed isn’t working), but I’m curious why y’all don’t say anything or maybe set up a channel for him to share? The fact that this post has so many upvotes makes me feel a bit sad, like it’s obvious to me why he still does it — he’s making a bid for connection with content he’s interested in and thinks y’all would enjoy. We’re social creatures. Stonewalling can be incredibly hurtful.
