Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing
-
A lot of people just don't see the bigger picture, and it shows.
-
because it's way more convenient
-
Well, I remember TeamSpeak being pretty good, unless someone has something eye-opening to say about it.
-
Funny how you say "my communities" and then "discords run them".
-
I completely disagree with this and have been for years.
It has often had connectivity issues, big lags, higher latencies and lower bitrates than Mumble or even TeamSpeak.
It's super bloated, they churn out useless "features" so fast that it keeps making it use more resources and makes everything slower.
Until recently, being in voice call with more than 3-4 people made all my 16 cores attempt self destruction.
It is a freemium piece of bloatware.
-
I totally agree, except also for gaming.
Compared to alternatives, there are often lags and complete disruptions, latency is horrible, bitrate is a paid feature, and for large groups of voice channels (like managing a 500 player operation in Eve), features are still lacking.
Also security is a joke. In Mumble, you can manage (certificate based!) permissions on every level imaginable.
They spend their time on making silly themes and Nitro features nobody cares about.

Discord sucks but this might be easy money if you join at the very start.
-
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!
