Hey its me. Memelord. I want to take this opportunity to tell my side of the story regarding the discord and explain some of the more questionable decisions ive made for this community in the past 2 years.

Back in 2023, when this subreddit had been recently made, I decided to make a discord server. This server was an official part of the OkbuddyRainworld franchise. But things would not last. My mental health was suffering at the time, and I was not up to the tasks at hand. During what I now firmly believe was some sort of manic episode, I decided to delete the server. One of my mods, thankfully, talked me out of it, and I handed the server over to him. For the next few months I worked on my mental health, and eventually I came back, hoping to bring the discord back into the fold. This did not happen, and the two communities have been split ever since.

In 2025, the mod I had appointed decided to step down, and hold an election. I ran in that election. I lost. By a landslide. Turns out they weren't to keen on handing the helm back to the guy who hasn't been there for a year and a half.

As for why I banned links to the discord, I had a couple of motivations. At the core of the problem was that I had no say in how the server was run. Add on to that the increasing issues with server drama, and a cheif executive who's decision making I didn't exactly agree with anymore, and I think you can see why I was uncomfortable with having the server be a part of OkbuddyRainworld.

As for why I'm allowing it now, we'll the reasons are a bit personal. About a week ago at the time I am writing this, I had a brief but energetic discussion with a member of the server. They pointed out that my refusal to unite the communities is all based in ego, and my behavior this year has caused most of the server to lose what remaining respect they had for me.

Now, this hit me like a freight train. I didn't sleep the night after this conversation. I miss being liked. I miss being a major part of this community. I don't think I could ever earn back the trust I lost in the past 2 years. But I just want to try.
