Comment on Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down

  It was never good from the start, as a voice chat program, it’s miles behind ts3 and mumble, never liked discord, isn’t that what gamer pedo’'s use to get in contact with younger kids anyway?

    Nah, it was pretty good when I used it some years back. I stopped using it before all of the nonsense people are complaining about, so at least for me I have a pretty positive perception. I even pushed to use it at work, which was awesome for productivity until my boss (the CEO) switched us to Slack, which was still decent, but a little crappier than Discord at the time.

    I don’t know how it is currently because I actively avoid it for a variety of reasons, but it was pretty good at the time.

    Idk why you’re being downvoted since everything you said was right.

    I think it just got popular because younger gamers don’t know how to use computers, and Discord was easier to use than everything else. The client also looks much nicer than mumble, and overall has better on boarding. The mumble homepage for example looks like a developer site.

      I got downvoted because 90% uses discord and I said only pedo’s use it to groom children ( which tbf is a bold statement)

        (which tbf is a bold statement)

        But accurate, Roblox and Discords willful negligence has been cited dozens of times, they don’t care.

      You’ll be surprised but a lot of young and not so young people find discord too difficult to use, they can’t wrap their heads behind the server concept
