Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing
-
I only use discord for stuff that doesn't provide an alternative. It's terrible for finding info and questions that have already been asked. Hopefully this will bring back actual forums, discord is not the place for support.
-
It shut down, didnt it?
-
It's been a number of years since I used it while playing Eve Online, but say it isn't so! I'm going to check now.
-
I know they had a terrible redesign last year and then it went all terribly down hill
-
mumble works very well and is foss as well.
-
Not very promising. What a shame.
-
Ah, haven't used that in a long while. I'll add that to the list to peddle to my mates as well. Thank you!

accelerates
-
I hate discord so much
-
I hate that everyone uses discord. Why can't we use IRC which is obviously better and uses a tiny fraction of the system resources that discord uses?
-
I kinda want discord to get shitter. It might eventually get to a point it pushes more people to using IRC instead.
-
aha thanks! i was wondering how ppl do this
yeah but tbf discord has a lot of features -
The worst part about discord to me is that it’s used as a knowledge base for open source projects and games and such. This puts things in a walled garden. I instant get turned off by a thing when the homepage is “join our discord” or I see a comment like “oh it’s explained in the discord.”
It’s only a matter of time before discord becomes paywalled, and all the knowledge out there ceases to be public.

I like to play rom hacks, and sure enough, most of them want you to join their Discord to get information about any upcoming updates or what the mod author is making next. I hate it to absolute death.
-
You can even trivially run your own server on an old Raspberry Pi.
I used to run one on a Pi 3 that would regularly have ~100 concurrent users without any hiccups
-
They had another redesign this year too as well, to try to make it more "discord-y" that's currently in beta I believe.
Though I do think they're a little too late...
-
The number of times I've been directed to a useless discord chat while looking for help on a topic is infuriating. Can't wait for this shit to stop.

Well it was fun while it lasted
