They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

I never ever understood and still doesn't understand why people like Discord. It's not indexed, it's a constant background noise. It's absolutely not user-friendly. You can do better with IRC.

Imagine using discord without Vencord, I'm sure someone will add a plug-in to remove all its crap at least I hope so, it already has some really good ones that give you access to free nitro bs.

Discord is a sack of shit anyways…I don’t get the obsession?

this thread is making me realize I'm clearly missing something. How do people actually use discord? Me and my friends basically use it as semi-permanent group chat. A few different topic areas, and no stupid android/ios compatibility issues. I'm also in two servers for some small clubs. Do people really use it the way they would lemmy/reddit?

It's decent for voice chat in games.

I'm not sure why it became the open source world's documentation platform of choice.

After however many years I finally joined two discord instances for some niche topics where community was hard to find elsewhere.

I haven't used IRC in a few years I admit, but I'm a few months in with discord, and so far it has never stopped feeling like IRC with a confusing interface, a gaudy new coat of paint, and emojis everywhere.

I have no idea why it's seemingly the ONLY place anyone wants to create an interactive community anymore for so many things.
