Oh no, not another "join our discord to use it".

To be "that guy" I like this trend. It combines product usage w/ discussion. That said, I believe a web UI would be strictly better.

Discord as an open protocol we could all build our service around would be sick.

There would still have to be hosting, moderation controls, high availability, low latency, etc. etc. engineering that "someone" would have to handle and own (ideally decentralized / p2p), but I believe it could be solved if ever incentives could align and a will could arise.

Yes, lots of people don't like using Discord, but I can't even get it to work. Discord just tells me 'Unable to accept invite'

I don't get an error, but also nothing happens when I click accept. edit: worked on my phone

I was also seeing this issue with Discord. Seems like taking the invite link and pasting in "Join Server" works reliably. https://share.cleanshot.com/KscggVQf

Probably not, there is an impressive interactive 3D point cloud rendering, which only shows up after a few seconds. Perhaps you missed that?

How many seconds? I see a discord button, and then some weird blob thing wobbling around. After 30 seconds I got bored of watching it.

30 seconds is a lot of time to stare at one thing. It sounds to me like it entranced you just as much as it did the others.

How long would you expect a single graphic to hold your attention before you can deem it impressive? Five minutes?

The main problem you're not mentioning is lack of ability to disable notifications. There's just no way to opt out of the @everyone notifications.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you can do that, if you right click a server under Notification Settings there is an option "Suppress @everywhere and @here" you can toggle. It's annoying to have to do this for every server though, I agree.

you're the hero I needed. I hope this keeps the red "1+" numbers gone.

Is that sarcasm?

It's not, I was referring to the interactive 3D author explained.

Judging from other comments, it seems I'm not the only one who didn't get to experience that - perhaps I just didn't wait long enough for that to show up?

In good hackernews style, I got downvoted into oblivion for just a simple question, but I guess that's to be expected these days.

Here are links to samples: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1169029442924986439/1... https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1169029442924986439... https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1169029442924986439... https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1169029442924986439...

These are decidedly not like the one on the homepage.

There's nothing on the homepage for me except a big logo and a join discord button...

Its a weird choice of UI. Why do companies do this? Is it a development shortcut or something?

Much more direct connection with users and the community can be built in the same place the tool exists.

It's annoying but I can see why its happening
