Whyyyyyy?
It's a completely free, both in message volume and queue size, highly available hosted 1-1 and 1-n topic based message queue with automatic sharding, excellent performance, and high-quality prebuilt libraries. It has built-in notification support to all platforms and a basic UI toolkit that is easy to use. The fact that it's also a chat thing is honestly secondary to the foundational tech.

Are you serious?
chat stuff is just one possible use case for the system.
like, when i read the root comment i was a bit like “huhhh?” but reading Spivak’s comment it now makes total sense.
also to add —
* discord gives you easy topic queue debugging. just login yourself and read the queue entries.
* something like 2000 character text content per message
* RBAC for topic queue access
* can probably turn it into a pub/sub topic queue system if you start adding webhooks and bots.

This doesn't answer the question tho. Utterly ridiculous.
I find your lack of hacker mentality much more ridiculous.

"Thanks, I'll base my next enterprise project on Discord as the message queue of choice."
Hah, what an amusing way to look at things, thanks for that.

Typically hacking gains you more control over things - seems fair to question if ceding control over the lights in your home to an external service is within the spirit of "hacking". Maybe "rube goldberging".
only according to the more modern definition of “hacking”
the earlier version of the term referred to people who write novel, interesting or clever software for the love of the craft.
i think using discord as a free message queue (see spivak’s comment in the thread) is pretty damn clever actually.
i kinda want to build something with it now.
