Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked
Ulrich@feddit.org 4 hours agoA lot of people don’t seem to realize that Discord has a variety of features, and each feature can be more or less useful for different types of communities. The ones I’ve used NEVER used anything but text chat.

I understand that but even the text chat is a different experience than what Discourse offers. Even people who only used Discord for text chat and want a replacement for that would be better on IRC.

It’s not the text chat they’re referring to. An annoying amount of open so it be projects use Discord as a replacement for forums specifically.

I’m aware but I don’t think this was the issue Ulrich was speaking of. If they were, I don’t think it was well conveyed.

Yeah, clearly everyone loves IRC, that’s why no one uses Discord /s

I honestly think the vast majority of people on Discord don’t know what IRC is, and therefore don’t have an opinion of it. However, I didn’t mean to suggest IRC as the best alternative anyway.

Okay so they know what Discord is, but they don’t know what IRC is, despite it being 20 years older. What does that tell you?
