[everforward]

Most of the clutter I would complain about comes more down to Discord making it really easy to bloat a server (and a cultural expectation to do so).

I’m in more than one Discord that has more channels than routine users. Like there are 4 people that use it on at least a weekly basis but there’s a meme channel, a pet photos channel, a news channel, yada yada. Managing notifications is a lost cause because the server owner redecorates the server every other week into new channels and what not.

Profiles have gotten weirdly wild, to sell Nitro stuff. Statuses, emojis for the status, now flairs from a server, profile pictures, etc.

Constant notifications for junk. Nitro is on sale, some game I don’t play has a quest, etc.

It’s fine, but it feels like Discord wants to be more than a carrier for voice and chat and I really just want them to do that. I don’t need “Facebook with VoIP”

Likewise, and I find it quite annoying too, but I don't think it's really Discord's fault. They default to one text and one voice channel, after all. The ability to add new channels easily is a good thing, but people do go a bit crazy with it.

The server flairs are kind of odd, but aren't the rest of those pretty bog- standard features for a messaging app?

I do agree the notifications are annoying, though. At the same time I get it, they do need to make money somehow.
