But why should anyone have to break the law to watch the Mets?

Agreed, those subs were easily the best.

A lot have moved into Discord, which makes these things even more difficult. In general discord servers are insular little clubs. They tend to have strange unique rules and require you to jump through so many hoops to get initiated.

The Discord format is like plugging into a stream of consciousness, so doesn't exactly lend itself to info-seeking like the forum format does.

I fucking hate discord. I know they also created a NBA discord once the reddit crackdown happened ads and at the beginning you'd get stream links in the chat, but now even that is banned, so usually I hurt Google stream, but it's a crapshoot

I like Discord, so long as it's only a limited number of smaller communities. Large Discord servers are nightmares

any links to said discords?

No, I got rid of my discord so don't have any. But you'd have to find new links anyway. The invites all expire after a while. Another reason why discord sucks.
