i disagree. i think that people take as much away from a multi-server voice chat discussion, a recommendation from someone in chat or a server channel listing as they do from a post that they probably wont read because they havent a clue as to who you are, therefore arent likely to see mention of your post or understand half of what is mentioned in abbreviation with not even a link as reference.

first off, a voice chat allows users to discuss what a particular server offers. how many people in this post just listed a name with no content? same with a chat discussion. people in servers tend to have multiple interests and multiple servers, and are happy to talk about them. how many people will this post draw after day three?

this post from almost two years still has as many active servers mentioned than one comment in this post did. the similarity? most of the mentioned servers here or there got no indication of what they were about. how is that helpful? the kittygirl at least made an attempt to give a description.

you are correct, things change quickly. new users are confused about different servers. yet half of what i see written here mention the same few shared servers numerous times, with no reference to what they are about.

perhaps in the hope of attracting new members? neat way to advertise, if anyone should bite. two people mentioned a few long standing servers that would benefit new users. however neither comment gave info or links to help a new users understand what they could offer for specific services that they might find useful. why is that? how useful is it to a new user? how is it useful to anyone but a steemit vet who will ask questions and not be intimidated by all the meaningless references?

if you had guided your commentators to specifically leave a description of the community they mentioned with what services they offered, that would make this relevant. as it is here, its barely understandable to a new user.

if you had posted twenty different servers and what they offer or focus on, that would have been useful. and at least you would have actually put some work into the post.
