[hゥmァnォィd]:doge_a::verified: (npub1qae…n3xv) lauralt (npub1c6y…9vj5) The reason drama happens so much on Discord IMO is due to the "forum moderator" or "imageboard janny" problem: aside from central Discord moderation sucking up to anything approved by Blackrock (what did you expect from a San Fran tech company honestly), Discord servers give midwits who work at McDonald's or live in mom's basement the illusion of power.
Gone are the days of having to get your friends to sign up for your Top Gamer 420 forum on proboards/freeforums/similar or having to set up phpBB or some shitty nulled vbulletin crack full of exploits, instead you just need to spin up a Discord "server". There's also the exclusivity aspect since peasants with a web browser can't view it, which infamously has affected sites like ResetEra and NeoGAF before this, early BlueSky, and SomethingAwful.
As a result, Discord tends to attract the bottom feeder garbage who can now feel like kings. This includes skid groups (see the Telegram/Discord "CCP" group that zoombombed Yung Thug's trial or the current spam wave), skids who also use Discord groups as a C&C server (there have been pieces of malware documented to do just this multiple times), the very real "Discord Trannies" who groom/wage gayops and adjacent groups, power tripping software developers, and more.
This is on top of dark patterns like completely erasing chat history and the idea of you even being in the server if you are kicked/banned from a server, and people online not being well behaved whatsoever. Peace on a Discord server is reliant on a trigger word not being said to turn the server into a seethefest.
