I despise discord. It's bloatware. It has constant popups that are difficult to disable. I do read their tech posts on HN, and they are always fascinating. But it seems to me like a product that the MBAs have taken a over.
I feel like in order to campfire business users, they would have to rebrand. Discord is a cool name for gamers, but maybe not for your average business person.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not sure what that is meant to convey except scorn. Discord's UI works fine for lots of us and I don't see any relationship with Chuck-E-Cheese here.
it means it feels age-inappropriate for an adult to use, like hanging out at a children's arcade

Slack does not seem like it would be good name for business use as well, and yet tons of businesses use it.
In comparison to Teams, Discord is a godsend. I think the biggest problem in this space is a lack of quality competition.
Teams is an abomination, in other words it's a typical Microsoft product.
It’s insulting.
Matrix or death.
Matrix is miles behind discord which saddens me. It's a good UI but to consider them in the same ballpark is pretty uncomparable to me

I'm also constantly seeing people in shock that people would choose to use Discord over IRC/Matrix/Teamspeak/Mumble. I find Discord to be light years ahead of anything else available, and for an average person who's going to have a hard time setting up any of those, the difference is even bigger. Plus, Discord's free, you don't have to host it, and all your friends and communities are already there. It's really a no brainer for most people.

Mind going into more details about the popups? Ive been using for years and cant say I've ever had a popup besides the occasional changelog.
Interesting to read that Discord has received higher offers than previously reported, as high as $18 billion, yet Jason refuses to sell and hopes to go public. Good for him to sticking to his guns, I don’t think I could say no to $18 billion!
It's a chat app. I cannot imagine not selling for an offer like that. Your opportunities for what to do next would be unbounded.
