#2Discord is awesome! Very easy to use, easy to connect with other player in the clan and organize events and raids. Also easy to sneak in other clan rooms and negotiate switch and maybe even snoop a little.
I really like it a lot and I was always wondering why it is not used more in business setting or for coordination in teams, because it could totally do that and it is ligher solution then slack or god forbid hipchat.

Oh? They use Elixir?

Yeah honestly I don't see why it couldn't replace Slack, it is a very similar product but I feel like by marketing it primarily to gamers they are positioning themselves in a far less profitable market than Slack is.

The Sublime Text community has adopted Discord as the predominant real-time chat platform. Initially I was skeptical, but it has worked out fairly well. IRC suffered from not being very accessible for many, and not having rich formatting nor history scroll back. It is nice not to have the gated access like Slack does.
Granted, I don’t think we’ve got more than a couple of hundred users on our Discord server, but it has been serving the core group of contributors well.

I forgot about that part, but that just makes them even more dear to my heart.

Interesting that 2 success stories in this space (the other being WhatsApp) are built on Erlang/OTP.

Its easier to get businesses to use Discord than to get gamers to use Slack.

Fyi, it is gated by Discord and (for instance) I'm unable to create an account under this psuedonym.
So, I (personally) will never use Discord as they locked my account when I attempted to create one.
