Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing

Check out Revolt. They're trying to mimic Discord.

I play daily with friends and I have maybe one disruption per year with voice not working, zero lags, constant 5ms latency, and since 2018 I had completely ZERO bots pm me. Recently someone messaged me out of nowhere about playing Phasmophobia together, with a girly avatar, and I thought it must be some bot, but it turned out to be an actual person
It's interesting for me how different experiences we have

Again, I think for gaming it's a great service. My pain point is that discord grew itself in all directions clearly just for higher valuation.
Also I'm just mad that discord is adopted outside of gaming because it suuuuuucks so bad for those use cases.
-
If you say so.
-
Different styles of conversation.
-
Ircv3 has reactions, and threads. Along with some other features, like persistent condos.
Voice and screen sharing can be implemented via external services.

Are you serious? That's excellent news!
-
yes. like the act of running an application. usually when someone says they're going to run something, it means that.
hope this helps!

No, itâs definitely still valuable. Itâs one of the biggest repositories of human-to-human communication on the web. Iâm sure it will be even more valuable moving forward because you donât want to train LLM models on LLM-generated stuff, and there isnât as much incentive on a platform like Discord for bots to masquerade as users⊠unlike on a persistent public and searchable forum like Reddit, where there are obvious incentives to fabricate posts and comments to sell stuff/astroturf/spin public opinion. Bots exist, of course, but theyâre identifiable and can be excluded.

That's fair.
Itâs one of the biggest repositories of human-to-human communication on the web.
I am showing my age and have spent decades on various web forums. These sites have thousands, or even tens of thousands, of users and huge quantities of threads some of which can be very deep. Yes, each individual site isn't that big but there are tons of these things scattered around the web and I'm sure they've been crawled. One of the many, many, many manymanymany Ford Mustang forums has > 2 million replies. thirdgen.org, an 80s-early 90s Camaro/Firebird, forum has 763,427 threads with 6.45 million replies going back easily 20 years, which is well before bots.
Discord does have 154M monthly users, so you're probably right that there is more content there than across all the various boards. It's also probably a heck of a lot easier to crawl than a bunch of different web forums.

Yeah, they claim that as of 2022 they had trillions of messages in their database, and this website claims four billion messages are sent per day as of 2022, apparently according to Discord, although I wasnât able to verify that source.

Boo you whore.
