I think by now we have figured out the majority of people are garbage and you only want to spend time with a select group.

Some majorities are bigger than others.

It depends on the discord. I joined a discord where the most narcissistic people were there and they singled me out for whatever reason because I wasn't just simply going with their thinking. There was another member that thought like me but their own narcissi tendencies made up a conspiracy theory that somehow that was my alt. I didn't even know the guy irl. It's a shame as I was interested in the subject matter of the discord but I guess if enough village idiots own a discord, the smart villager is seen as the idiot.

I don't think we have. Some people theorise that the tower of babel really happened. Whether you're religous or not doesn't really matter but it shows that during the earliest recorded days humanity wanted to help each other and everyone by building a tower. There are theories as to why god didn't allow the tower to reach them so then the blame is put on god, not humanity.

The theological explanation I've been hearing recently for that is that God didn't want humanity to be a monolithic entity, but rather to have many different flavors and cultures. Supporting evidence is that in Revelation there is reference to all of the nations and tribes on the Earth being represented in heaven. Meaning that those cultures are retained, minus the worst parts of them. It's actually a great argument for intentional diversity and allowing people groups to maintain their uniqueness rather than assimilate into a global conglomerate.

Naw, it was just divide and rule.

But to play devil's advocate (pun very much intended) in the gnostic scripture of the nag Hamadi it straight up says whoever parctipated in the tower of babel will go to hell. Why punish people when they thought they were doing good? And the nag hamadi also says whatever happens in the world is god's will. Meaning every single event in history whether good or bad is because god wanted it that way. So according to the nag hamadi god wanted all the wars, all the climate change, all the confusion, all the rape and murder is because god wanted it. Why aren't we born with knowledge of every language if god wanted diverse languages? That way people will choose the language they speak rather than it being forced upon them from wherever they're born. The nag hamadi actually answers every existential question if you read it objectively without any pre existing beliefs in my personal view. We don't have any free will on earth according to the nag hamadi and this is the only universe that exists.

There are a lot of gnostic writings but they don't hold much value. They were essentially rejected when they were written. You did ask an interesting question though, why we aren't born with knowledge of every language if God wanted to diverse languages.
I've read theology about this as well, and the answer that I'm hearing at the moment regarding that has to do with the speaking in tongues that was released at Pentecost. On that occasion, there were people from many other regions assembled in Jerusalem and when they began to speak in tongues, people from foreign lands heard their own native tongue spoken clearly. The way it's described, it seems even the dialects were correct.
It's not clear if that was a miracle of being able to speak in a language they didn't understand, or if it was a miracle of understanding. But it does seem to be a reversal of the confusion that was caused by multiple languages, yet retaining the diversity and also creating unity. The inferred implication is that the same kind of understanding will be available in eternity when all of the brokenness of this world is restored with a new heaven and new Earth.
