Since when did people stop liking Discord? It's still so much better than any of the chat clients that came before it. I have never had any issues with it for what I use it for.
I will never go back to the days of Skype, ventrilo, or TeamSpeak. Slow, worse ui/ux, and less feature rich from what I can remember.
Also, why would use Discord's website?
I stopped liking discord the very first time I launched the application and saw what a piece of shit it was.
When they updated the privacy policy to start spying on voice calls.
Doesn't make it good
The fact that you didn't include IRC in this last as one of the "chat clients that came before it" makes me cry
Because their app is their website in a wrapper
people stopped liking discord when they got to use slack or teams and see what a professional chat product looks like.
not that people really love slack or teams either, but they are miles ahead of discord in terms of speed and general usability.
Lmao I can tell you've never used Teams before.
I work for MS and literally every MS employee hates Teams. I would cut off my tongue before I recommend it to a friend.
The problem with Discord isn't the program, it's the fact that we have a million different servers now. People just don't like having to go to a new server for every different conversation, but that's the way they all chose to use it so it's their own fault.
Teams is truly awful. The fact that I have seen it maintain the same general clunkiness for years at this point is crazy. When it was newer, I could overlook it somewhat and assumed that the wrinkles would get smoothed out over time, but it still feels very janky and duct-taped together. It's functional enough for what I need it to do, but it may be my least favorite piece of software that I need to use regularly. I used Slack a few jobs ago and I miss it. It has been Teams ever since that job.
The other big issue I have with Discord is that information isn't really indexable or able to be archived easily. Reddit developed its own issues, but at least it was great to use alongside a search engine. Discord just feels like a black hole of information in comparison. It feels like a ticking time bomb in terms of inevitable enshittification.
Bruh I use Slack for work. If Discord ever create a Enterprise oriented plan with the necessary terms for business use, it's sure as hell I'm going to push for my company to migrate. Discords way of setting up custom channels is a godsend if you're working on a remote first team.
Genuine question since I use Discord mostly for small groups of friends, what are you doing that is causing speed problems? I have never had Discord operate any slower than Teams an I use both daily in different environments.
