    Do people actually enjoy receiving discord messages or being notified? I won’t deny the sound has conditioned me, but it’s my fight or flight response that’s being triggered.

      When I first used discord in 2016, my life was falling apart and I was still having unprocessed grief. I have been conditioned to hear that noise to expect some self-hating demon is gonna ruin my week.
