Started to really like discord. Feels a bit more like a community compared to Slack I would say

#12>But Vind said one feature particularly stood out: "Being able to just jump on an empty voice chat, basically telling people, 'Hey, I'm here, do you want to join and talk?'"
Can anyone explain how that is different than, say, Mumble?

Discord originally sold itself as an alternative to Mumble. We've tried Mumble during lockdown and the comparison was heavily in favour of Discord, it's simply much better.

#14Sounds like a very bleak future.
One where all user data and metadata are at the hands of a company that not only is able to do the same... not-quite-nice things as others did and were proven to do so by Snowden, but whose founder already had a product ending with a privacy lawsuit scandal on its bag.

#15Too bad it is a completely proprietary walled garden and that they do not care about privacy or security.
I would love for matrix to eventually replace discord, but ATM discord is still a better user experience.

#16Discord can be something special once they increase the limit of only 200 servers you can connect to.
I can’t imagine being in 100 Discord servers. Could you share your use case?

#17My company chat is completely on Discord. It is definitely an upgrade from Slack.
Once Discord gets threading it will be unstoppable.

I'm curious, would you care to expand ?

Just lots of communities I am part of. Some I am active in, some I joined but still want to be part of like IFTTT (don't use it but people share some interesting automation ideas there I can replicate in another system).
