Discord is only convenient for those already using it everyday. For everyone else this is a high barrier to entry, especially when you actually care what software you use.

    My brother in Christ, this is a Linux community. High barriers to entry is literally what you signed up for.

    You could say this about virtually any modern social media platform. Hell, half the reason I'm on Lemmy is because Reddit hates me if I try to look at something without signing in first and then hates me even more for signing in and participating in a community.

    Discord isn't any more difficult to enter than Reddit (or Lemmy, for that matter). At the worst, I'd consider it a modernization on IRC with Microsoft Characteristics. I wouldn't call that high at all. At its best, its a great live chat space for niche interest groups to organize.

    I used it for a short time when it first came out. I went back for another look recently. I haven't a clue what is what. So much going on. I thought I don't wish to spend the time learning something I probably will use a couple of times a week.

    Is this what getting old feels like?
