I've seen this mentioned and have no idea what it is (I'm old). Just from the sound of it I am repulsed. Why would anyone risk being on a dark webpage? What is the purpose?
Is it just a trap for the clueless ? What is a discord and who benefits?
When I was an audiophile I used to visit a gear/music website (I think it was Audio Asylum but it was a long time ago). A couple of the guys did not like the children and the necessary harsh moderation (it was a site for the retailers).
Someone built an "outside", invitation only, so we could fight and say anything we pleased. The first few weeks were awesome. People were invited to join...and they were the most bestest of the bunch. We went off topic immediately, but the technical discussion and music reviews were awesome. Some of the smartest/witty folk who were also audiophiles. It was great to see into the personalities of the screen names, when they could post pretty much anything. Thing is, initially, they were all adults, loved gear and music, and self-moderated pretty well. The discussion were mostly about music and gear, but could devolve off topic at any moment. Thing is, it always came back to the topic. Members seemed to know how special the moment was. Over time ... entropy.
I spent years on that site...until my hearing got so compromised I realized that I couldn't hear where I'd spent time and money. My right ear cuts off at 6kHz...left about 8.
Let's not talk about tinnitus. I sold all my gear and started drinking. The amazing thing about ethanol abuse: it doesn't effect your hearing...not like going to a rock concert.
You can be dying of liver failure and in DTs...but you hear the music same same. I think it's the only sense that is not ruined by ethanol. I think it's so you can hear God. He's a drunk too.
So if we had something like "Outside" for the Lucid early adopters.... that would be awesome.

just based on the name vs what it is.
