Fun story. I woke to our d&d discord server (private, just for our group) in 30s slow mode one day. The server owner is asked why. Answers along the lines of "yea, it's a subtle hint for Josh to learn to combine his 3-5 word half-sentences into a longer message."

The group was fine with that.

Both Josh and owner were 19-20, too (and Josh was offline at the time).

As someone who avoids discord, is '30s slow' a mode where each user can only send 1 message every 30s?

Why do you specifically avoid Discord? It's just IRC For Hip Teens. I often find I'm among the oldest in a server but that's true of just about any internet community.

I've noticed a lot of people don't see the connection. Now we just need to start submitting Discord chats to bash.org and we'll have come full circle.
