    Benefits over discord? I use discord to video chat with my out of town buddies. That’s about it. What are some reasons I should switch? This isn’t a loaded question btw, I’ve been a fan of FOSS and a free and open internet since I was a kid in the 90s. Grew up on anarchist punk and all. I’m just asking because I gotta convince the suits it’s better.

      I’m honestly surprised how quickly discord has gone to shit vs. how long everyone I know was using stuff like Skype and TS beforehand.

      I also hate how people try to use discord as a replacement for more traditional forums (including stuff like Reddit and kbin) instead of as just a chat and messaging platform. It sucks at it, please stop trying to make it work for that people.

        This is my biggest complaint as well, Discord is TERRIBLE for searching for informational posts and replies. Yet people constantly try and use it for that. Every time I see a “visit our discord!” When I’m just wanting to search a forum, I groan and just close the site. I cannot wait for Discord to die off.

          I despise subreddits who say “we are moving to discord”. The two platforms are nothing alike and never will be

    Is this decentralised tho? Because that’s the only thing that matters, as long as it’s server based they can become like Reddit. I am not returning to centralised medias and messengers lol
