We won't kill you for burping. You'll just get an odd look from some people depending where you are if you make it a point to be loud about it.
But if it's clear it just forced it's way out and you say "excuse me" no one cares. Probably won't even notice.

If the place is big and decently loud like Cheesecake Factory it's whatever. Finer dining, I'd be more mindful but fuck those places anyway. I don't really know what I could tell you about the states because I've never been off the east coast myself so I don't have a contrasting frame of reference. New York is VERY fast paced and people can be very unknowingly rude though. I'm assuming you're with someone who knows the city enough because you want to be careful with certain boroughs The Bronx.

And yes, generally keep sex talk to a minimum outside of friends. :y

(I think my employer, which compiled this advice, was targetting the advice at some south asian populations, where it is considered 'polite' to belch to show that your host has filled you up. )

I'm upstate in a rural county of New York state. People here are very friendly.

It's funny, but I see that the problems with accepting the news of close FAF really hurt the ass of those who have problems with communication. It concerns me too. Damn extroverts, let us communicate with the speed of a snail!

It really bugs me because I'm a recovering addict that was suicidal and I credit this forum and the friends I have met with helping me pull myself out at least a little bit. My therapist said they can notice a difference in my demeanor but yet again let's all go to discord, personally I'd rather gouge my eyes out but I'm crazy remember

This hits very close to home. It's the reason I prefer forum, you are expected to take your time. Something about the fast-paced, casual(what seemed to be for most people) communication through chatrooms and stuff just... streesses me out.

I agree. I prefer it myself forums. I use chat only with my closest ones - it takes a lot of time and resources from me. Forums, like a theater, should always live.

Real question - Do you think that there will be a large difference between Discord forum threads and Fur Affinity Forum threads?

I've been thinking about it, and the only thing I can think would make it harder to engage as an extrovert is that the community size there may tend to be larger, which means more people engaging the same thread. But, that could have also happened with FAF if it received the attention it needed to stay afloat.

That's patently untrue. FAF is responsive and when someone posts a message while you're drafting one, you're given the option to view it so that you are replying to the most current.

Here is a screen recording of a forum thread within Discord

Here's one with multiple threads:

you don't see whats new untill you press the button, alerts do show up, but you need to click something new

you aren't interpreted when typing, it just says new things have been posted

Yes, that is what I said. So you can choose to ignore it and fall behind in conversation, but it's still responsive and the option is still there. To combat this on Discord, just use the reply button to reply to the post you are specifically referencing. Then catch up with the rest. That's basically the same thing as pressing "view new posts".

in practice its very different for most users, as it still gives the interruption as text rather then just "something new"

It's always going to be "different", but there's a stark contrast between "different, sort of similar, and therefore transitional" and "completely different".
