I don't know about your friends, but as we're on HN, I'm sure others here have friends like mine, who absolutely have conversations about how the low level shit that facilitates our world works.
Idk all my friends are alcoholics and we only talk about stupid stuff

They are two different situations but why is the distinction meaningful here? I rarely even remember the venue of most conversations, just that it happened.
Because for a lot of us it’s hard to imagine finding a half dozen or so people who can talk in person like that outside of a conference or workplace. Discord facilitates that because it assembles people based on interests and such. You’re just going to more easily have that kind of conversation than you would “out in the real world.” My guess is they are functionally saying “this probably happened on discord if anybo…
I have good friends that love to discuss highly technical topics over a beer or whiskey.

Well it’s not so far fetched if the friends are people you studied with and have common interests with, but don’t currently work together with. I have good friends that love to discuss highly technical topics over a beer or whiskey.

By 'talk' I suspect he means discord and by friends he means display names. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I catch myself saying 'talk' when I'm talking about something a friend told me over chat.
