Lol IRC knockoff
I apologize for sounding ignorant but what do people use discord for exactly?
It could be that I don't enough friends on it to replace text messaging.
I tried to join a bunch of communities to replace Reddit with discord but the stream of consciousness design of the channel posts kinda muddles everything since you can't really separate the replies from the submissions.
I guess I should be happy I didn't get invested in something that looks like it's changing for the worse but kinda curious when I see people get really upset about change and wonder what I missed out on haha

Too much.
It's a chat platform geared towards gamers, with voice chat, screen sharing, and streaming options... that's been coopted by vloggers... but most unsettlingly, it's being used for customer support and documentation.
A lot of knowledge bases are buried in the walled garden of servers, and a labyrinth of chat rooms.
That last point is exactly how I feel about discord and telegram. Maybe not walled off yet but definitely a labyrinth of chat rooms of data that I can't easily digest.
im in a bunch of twitch streamer communities

Better buy some stock. I kick myself for not buying Reddit stock before it went public
I was recently asked to chat on discord. Add this to a host of other reasons I declined.
Fuck you, byeeeeeeeeee
