Why didn’t these mods suggest Lemmy/Kbin instead of Discord? I don’t get the appeal of Discord. Why would you want to be in a massive chat room with a bunch of strangers?
I agree. I dont get why people use things like discord or slack to discuss stuff especially with lots of users.
Discord has forums now.

Yeah, but it’s still Discord. They’re jumping from one platform run by a dodgy corporation to another.
Not to mention the walled garden, phone verification only bs of discord.
Oh interesting. What’s Discord’s gameplan? Same as the rest? Capture a bunch of users then go full corporate fuck the users strategy? The ol “try this amazing free thing! Contribute content with your friends!……” “thx now pay us to access all the content you freely contributed. Kthx bye. Also we are selling all your data. Kthx.”
I have no idea. I didn’t even know they had these until people were suggesting we move to discord from Reddit a couple months ago.
I use discord the same as you. Hop in a voice chat with friends and then close discord. I’ve never used it for anything other than a bloated ass voice chat client lol
Edit: didn’t realize you were a different person. I use discord the same as the other guy I replied to.
discord literally having a concurrent controversy (the name change); and they feel it good to go there?
besides. discord is useless as a reddit replacement. discord is not indexed and you cannot retrieve the data publicly; much like facebook groups which would be the same thing. i mean; who doesn’t (or didn’t) use +reddit in their google searches for the past 2 years?
discord has also been bleeding users lately.
and, it’s another corporation. worse than reddit. with a poor track record.
but sure! let’s move to there! sounds brilliant! i’m sure all will be well!
…what’s next, facebook groups?
Facebook groups, for their many failings are still miles better than discord tbh
Yeah, even if searching content is atrocious, and it focuses on the latest posts by design (like reddit) so you have the same questions posted multiple times a day. And the tool doesn’t even support the goal of the users. It’s still a more appropriate tool than discord. Plus, it has the userbase.
