This. I literally just joined. I have no idea what the server layout is or where all the important links are.

My biggest pet peeve is when you join a new server and you have 15 different steps you have to do before you can ask a question. Verify with a bot or two, send picture drinking verification can, send emoji here, ask for emoji there, introduce yourself, publish your whole biography, wait for the pope to bless your account, and then, maybe, you are allowed to use the #help channel. I'm not a discord user, I don't know what this all means ffs!

...And in addition, Discord itself can randomly nuke your account by asking for a phone number.
