#2Discord is the best thing that happened to me since IRC and I could not be happier. We exchange art, we discuss movies, we play DND together. Obviously it could not replace IRL connections, but it complements them nicely.

#4This rings very true. I'm down using Facebook/Twitter for work, or checking every 2 or 3 days if I'm bored, desperate or looking for something in particular. Instagram is about a 50% mix of pretty things and friends, but the pretty things post way more often, so the split is heavily in that direction.
I'd say approximately a third of the friends I chat to regularly (late 30s ish) have left or don't use Facebook - but we're all in lots of WhatsApp groups. A couple with big groups of friends, but lots that are started before a night/day when the few in the group got together and just stay open to extend the fun from the day with relevant stuff.
It feels a lot more private to post to these. You can share things without some random friend commenting, or judging because you know exactly who you're sharing with. It feels more like having a pint with a couple of mates than pinning something to a noticeboard that friends, relatives and work colleagues may (or may not, depending on whether FB deems it worthy) seeing.
WhatsApp has definitely replaced Facebook for a few of us - and bearing in mind they have the same overlord, it seems like a pretty canny buy now.

Oooh, I too would like to see a curated list of tech Discord servers.

#6Group chats are great, but they still have a bunch of problems that their predecessors didn't: they're walled and often not private. In certain cases, using your own client is anathema and an opportunity to be kicked off the platform :/

For tech groups there are a lot of good ones on matrix which is a federated network.

The Reactiflux chat channels on Discord are the best place on the Internet to discuss React, Redux, and other related JS technologies :

#1030 years later and we have reinvented IRC, but worse as you can't use your own client, the protocol may not be public and it's harder to discover channels.
