Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers
warmaster@lemmy.world 7 months agoIf I understand correctly, you are proving my point by saying people chose Discord over others, and then you list their reasons.

No, I am disputing your claim that “that’s what most people these days want apparently.”
Obviously, a lot of people use Discord, but I think you’re mistaken about their motivations. They didn’t choose it because they think forum-style communication is inferior to real-time chat. We can see that by the popularity of Reddit over Discord’s lifetime. Rather, they chose Discord because it’s what was offered (along with heavy marketing), and because it was convenient.

Pardon me if I expressed myself incorrectly, what I meant is that they prefer real time chat (for whatever reason) over any alternatives.
