So I came across this short video about Webfishing and how it's the first "chatroom game" to come out in a while. It brought up Minecraft servers, how they used to be hubs for hanging out but nowadays they feel more monetised and stuff. It reminded me of the days I spent playing on this fantasy RP server that I would just build and explore on, how it felt nice to exist in that space with other people and no other server really felt like it. So I went looking for Minecraft servers again on PlanetMinecraft, trying to find some creative servers this time (not a roleplayer), but all of the ones I've tried so far all have broadcast messages filling up the chats and stuff, just like the video was complaining about.
I think I need a new site to find servers from. I tried Reddit, and one of the only comments on a 6yr old post about finding servers linked to 1) a site that felt like it was meant to just generate search results and 2) r/MinecraftServers, which I think is gonna have the same problem.
So please... other Minecrafters... tell me where you find servers. Or hell, if you know any creative servers or any other type of server that you're passionate about, I'd like to hear about those too.
