    discord once banned me for making a joke that "I'm 8", So i decided to create my own! and it's decentralized! no central party has complete control over it.So you can share whatever you want! I know it has a lot of bugs. and doesn't have many features. But it's a start, i will keep updating it with new features and fixing bugs.
