Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing
-
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
-
Just a replacement as a newsletter is totally fine.
What's not good is knowledge being solely shared there instead of a Wiki.
Github literally has wiki functionality built-in. -
There goes the neighborhood.
-
Did they fucking stutter? Exelerates.
-
I hate how companies will refer to their Discord for customer service... Fuck that shit. Should be illegal.
-
The enshittification has finally struck the English language
-
This is not enshittification, this is evolution. "Exelerates" is superior to "accelerates".
-
looks like me and the boys are going back to teamspeak
-
I was trying to make a joke
-
It was nice while it lasted.
Back to Ventrillo I guess...
-
Coldside was just emplifying your joke
-
Reaction emojis, threads, screen sharing, and voice chat. IRC has none of these features. Better to get on the Matrix train
-
Enshittifcation imminent
