The best part about discord is the streaming feature. So far I haven’t been able to find a replacement for that.
Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing
Spaniard@lemmy.world 1 month agoI don’t know why people trusted Discord, it’s one of the worst platforms and I say this while I use it because I had to settle for that like I had to settle for WhatsApp.
Irc was better for chat, ventilo is better for audio, and matrix is pretty much the same but better. Discord sucks like Twitter did and I can’t wait for it to go away.
Thank God I convinced my fiancee to move our VCs to Wire, away from WhatsApp and Discord.

I think it’s less about trusting Discord and more about not giving a shit. It does the thing they want it to do and that’s the extent of their consideration. It’s the reason why everyone still uses Windows even though it’s basically spyware at this point. Talking to my friends about it is like talking to a brick wall and they just check out of the conversation.

Discord does exactly one thing not entirely shittily. It puts all those features in one place. It gets beat out in any one feature, but you can run an entire community within a Discord for free. You shouldn’t because it’s terrible at most of that and mediocre at the rest, but it’s free and just good enough if you bludgeon it into shape with tools and bots and stuff.

It’s free because you’re the product

Wonder how long this will last. Bet they are burning angel investors money up to now, going public is the first step towards having to become profitable.
