#83In comparison to Teams, Discord is a godsend. I think the biggest problem in this space is a lack of quality competition.
Bravo ... discord client on Ubuntu has never crashed or sat there using 100% of cpu doing nothing unlike Teams

it means it feels age-inappropriate for an adult to use, like hanging out at a children's arcade
Yeah this checks out for me. Some people at work were pushing to move from slack to discord and I've never felt more like an old man. UX preferences aside, I think it's a really bad fit for businesses compared to slack, because it seems to also want to be social media, where you have one profile across servers, where slack and others are team-centric.

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.
opportunities aren't really a function of money in particular in the software world. You need a good project, good people and whatnot, but you don't need 18 billion dollars for your next company. In fact if anything I'd honestly say it might be a negative to be that wealthy. A lot of ideas are the products of inventiveness in the face of constraints and a sense of urgency. There is a lot of super-wealthy 30 year olds…
Myself? Definitely retirement. And race cars.

#87I hope not, I don't like the tiny realm vibe I get on discord servers. I find it too stiff and less friendly than most webirc sites (i know irc is not 10% of discord in terms of features but even then I find the added bonuses aren't worth that negative feeling.)
Are you on mostly smaller servers, or is it unrelated to server size?
You can definitely port the crushing silence/violent turmoil dichotomy of a large freenode room to Discord with enough users.

OT but seriously, name one good Microsoft product other than paint.
VS Code, TypeScript, C#, F#, GitHub but it doesn't count... I've heard good things about OneNote, I guess.

#89Interesting 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!
