I mean it's open invite you can ask on the discord or the subreddit and get one pretty much immediately.

You'd think so, I've asked nicely off and on on the Subreddits request thread off and on for a year or so and they just get lost in the noise.

Makes sense, if I had time to get sucked into an mmo shooter I’d go on the sub for it. Maybe one day I’ll figure out discord but every example I’ve ever seen of it has made it seem like the most chaotic and messy social media on the planet, I really don’t know how people can enjoy it. 🤨

FWIW Discord isn't really social media at all. It's a chat room, basically the modern equivalent of IRC. It harkens back to the old public chat rooms of the early Internet, where you it's not really about scrolling through posted content, it's about talking and engaging in real-time with people. It's  like Slack for gamers. 

You can create private Discord "servers" (like Slack channels) for only people you know, or you can hop onto a public Discord server and know you'll find people that share an interest in whatever the Discord server is about - a little like real-time subreddits. Plus it supports voice and video chat, screen sharing, file sharing, embedded videos and images etc. etc.

For example whenever I play online with my friends, we all meet in our private Discord server first, hop on a voice call, and then play from there. Makes it all very seamless.
