I just unashamedly ignore people if I'm busy and/or preoccupied (whether visible or not). Sometimes I just want to send a quick ''haha, yeah!'' message and then not have to deal with a 20 hour long discussion about our RP or something like that -- we don't have to talk 24/7 just because we are writing together. I think that is a boundary that a lot of roleplayers cross inadvertently and quite frequently.

A hobby is a hobby, I don't wanna make it more. I think what gets me
more is the amount of partners that will ask for Discord to ''communicate'' in PMs and then I sort of half-reluctantly agree, only to end up with them expecting the entire RP to take place in Discord despite neither the threads we both have (their
and my request thread) nor our communications betraying this fact. I don't want to write on Discord, if I did I'd have mentioned it, and this is a great way to make me
not want to write anymore. Bonus points if they offer to write the starter and then send it in Discord 2 minutes later without discussion.
I feel like it's kind of the RP equivalent of a job saying they're fully remote, getting hired and then finding out that fully remote means you get to fully remote your ass to their office 5 days out of the week.
Also, the character limit pisses me off, even with Nitro.
The off-site request thread section is seriously one of the better QoL changes I've seen on any writing forum so I wholeheartedly embrace it, since I think Discord roleplaying is probably the ''new wave'' for roleplaying as I've seen forums die out more and more, but I'm not ready to give up on my trusty forums just quite yet.
