Despite having been around the entire time, to this day I still have no earthly idea what the fuck was with all of the insufferable, terminally online drama that originated on the discord lifeboat.

Does that server still even exist? There was a sizable group of deeply unserious CTH refugees who had somehow grown to prefer the lifeboat discord over chapo.chat’s format, so they just decided to just stay there after this site opened. I recall they eventually changed their discord server name and elected new mods to differentiate themselves as a separate community from us, but that’s the last I ever heard about them.
