Discord

Love Discord. So many features & functionalities. Gets a little chaotic at times, but awesome nonetheless!

Just a great platform to host your community.

Discord is where people are. It's not hard to get them to join your server if they are already using it for their own projects.

In its prime, from 2020 to 2021, Discord was a fantastic platform for communication and community building. However, since then, it has taken a turn for the worse. The app is now riddled with bugs and crashes that disrupt conversations and create a frustrating user experience. One of the most concerning changes has been the bot verification process. Discord now allows bots to be verified without needing to be in 100 or more servers. This has led to an influx of low-quality bots that clutter channels and diminish the overall experience. The moderation tools remain inadequate, enabling toxic behavior to persist in many servers. Additionally, the user interface feels increasingly cluttered, making it difficult to find servers or navigate conversations efficiently. Notifications are overwhelming and often lead to confusion rather than meaningful interactions. Overall, Discord has fallen short of its potential, and I can no longer recommend it as a reliable communication tool.

The UI progressively grows worse with update (which are slow to release). What used to be simple, clean navigation has grown into a bloated mess. The mobile experience is even worse...

I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but it has too many features for people like me.

It's become an integral part of my communication toolkit. Its user-friendly interface and extensive features make staying connected with friends, colleagues, and communities effortless.

Discord is a platform I often use to communicate with friends while gaming. It provides convenient tools for voice and text communication, allowing us to easily coordinate actions in games. Additionally, Discord ensures a stable connection and has minimal latency, which is important for seamless online gaming together. However, like any other platform, Discord has its drawbacks, such as occasional connectivity issues or malfunctions of certain features. Overall, Discord is a convenient tool for communication during gaming sessions, but technical issues may arise at times.

"Discord is such an awesome platform It's a real game-changer when it comes to staying connected with others who share similar interests. I love how easy it is to create servers and join communities where you can chat, voice call, and even share media.

Discord changed a lot about how i interact with people on the internet over common interests, projects, and hobbies. I use Discord on the daily to game & chat with friends abroad, and am also part of communities coalesced around philosphy, art and politics . I can't imagine another way to go about it than the Discord / channels format. The structural similarity with Slack makes shifting from work mode to play mode a breeze for my brain.
