At least you can access information on reddit from everywhere, and for the time being, without an account. Discord has the scumminess of reddit turned up to 11 and people love it.
I find it especially baffling when open source projects use it for communication.
I mean everyone open sources for different reasons
I mean if you could point to anything remotely as easy to use and functional as discord then this joke makes way more sense.
All you need to do is take a look at the working versions of these apps (slack, teams, etc) at some of the main features to see how crap the competition really is.
I am. Use Matrix or Revolt.
While people still resist the Fediverse they will happily keep jumping from walled garden 1 to walled garden 2 because they lure them with convenience. But Discord is already starting to go to shit.
It’s so bizarre to me how, in the wake of Reddit killing 3rd party apps, some people are running to Discord, which is infamously, actively hostile towards 3rd party apps, to the point of banning people for using them.
The official discord app is way better than discords app and ad-free.
The widespread use of Discord baffles me. It seems to be basically IRC with voice chat and no choice in servers. It’s good for group voice chat with people you already know, but I can’t see how it fits any other use case like being a replacement for a subreddit community.
it’s pretty much proprietary IRC with extra bloat…unless you use a client but then your account is in danger
Discord is already hard at work to undo itself.
It has been going rapidly downhill.
