Discord has been immensely hostile to the public in general since forever, and people love to flock to it and throw money at the company behind it.

I don't expect the masses to change their incomprehensible habits just because of this.

[Choco31415]

It's not incomprehensible. Discord makes it so much easier to organize communities than most other platforms.

Telegram, Slack, Facebook, Team Speak, Reddit, GroupMe, nothing really offers the same feature set and ease of setup that Discord does.

[niutech]

No, Discord/Slack is a mess. Interesting topics got buried in an IRC-style chat. Threaded BBS are much better for organizing communities, like Discourse. And it is open source, so no vendor lock-in with stupid age verification.

How many of them let me turn up/down or mute individual participants in a group voice call?

Apart from the open voice channels, what Discord features is Slack actually lacking? (and huddles can sub-in for voice channels much of the time)

"easier" - what really matters is end user freedom, the rest is just decoration

Honestly... People deserve this. They deserve the consequences. They were warned. They chose this.

[1718627440]

They also don't care. But I do care, chose the opposite, and will still bear the consequences, once a sizable population does certain things.

Ok, do your worst. I got on Discord cause they offered the best free service, I'll just as easily leave if that ever stops being the case. "Teen mode" seems not bad, I need something worse.

Y’all forgot that the only reason we’re on Discord was because MS actively killed Skype. Skype was much better software circa 2012 before MS let vulnerabilities run rampant, degraded the UI, and moved off the remarkably robust P2P calling system.

[morshu9001]

I never had a Skype call work properly on the first try, even before Microsoft broke it

[LoganDark]

Discord used to be better, but then they got popular, got incredibly picked up and now are probably being controlled by some very shady people.

[brandensilva]

If you look up the founder he has a bit of history of shady shiz with his past companies.

It isn't surprising to me they are going scorched earth now bending to the will of the fascist government.
