    Yeah I remember voicing this concern when all online communities seemed to be going to discord and people seemed to mainly laugh at me in response at the time.

    Fuck Discord

      Companies putting their stuff into discord is like all the businesses that ditched a dedicated website and moved to facebook however many years ago. Yay, now it is on a format that doesn’t work well for presenting static information and will inevitably require account registration!

      I despise discord from a user interface and business practice perspective. What a piece of shit

        This is exactly what I was gonna say: I’m amazed that so many millions of people can tolerate its atrocious UI. Even now, the amount of notifications I get from the constant text channels across “servers” (which is such a misnomer for merely “communities”) is so ridiculous that I ignore 99.9% of it.

          I think that naming was fully on purpose. People argumented with me that they had their own “servers” so that was good, right?

          Grrr.

        Element needs to be better. Discord is awesome with the way it auto-plays looping videos/gifs and has animated emojis.

        Seriously: That’s all they’d need to do. The element devs need to focus on fun.
