What the fuck is wrong with those people and their fetish with Discord? It’s not a forum, it’s a fucking chat platform where you have to pay for fucking emojis!

I like the continued migrations from Reddit but Discord doesn’t seem like the best destination
Yeah, to be truly useful, a community needs to be googleable. And discord is certainly not that.
That, and the conversations move far faster there. Any remark about anything moves the subject further up, and you’re essentially subjected to reading the comments section of the entire sub all at once when you just came for the memes.
Holding a conversation in such a large place would be near impossible from experience, no matter how many channels there are. It’s just not going to be pleasant because it’s not made for what they want to do.
I’m very tech-literate but Discord has always seemed so fucking messy to me. So many channels and emojis and I barely know how to send someone a DM or add them to my friends list or whatever. How on earth are you supposed to keep track of anything?
Just a giant chat room, nothing permanent
That’s like getting kicked out of the home you grew up with to moving in permanently at a hotel, instead of getting your own home…
Yep that’s me… my name is Earl.
I rewatched that entire series earlier this year. It’s a shame it got cancelled.
That two part cops episode is a gem.
Discord isn’t a good alternative, it’s not the same type of social media site. Discord is more of a chatroom aggregator, while Reddit is more of a forum aggregator. While Reddit technically supports chats and Discord technically supports threads, in both cases they’re clunky and not the main point of the site.
It’s also centralized corporate-controlled trash, just like Reddit. I, for one, don’t see the point in swapping one abusive overlord for another abusive overlord.
Discord is even worse, all the information there is locked behind a walled garten. No access without account, no way to google shit. I hate Discord, lol
If people thought that Reddit’s search was bad, they have quite the surprise waiting on discord!
Discord? Yuck.
Discord even with forums category is not meant for discover new content and search.
It’s /r/malefashionadvice.
So nothing has been lost.
If a bunch of 20-somehtigns wish to get advice from another bunch of self-important 20-somethings on what to wear they may as well fuck off to the moon for all I care.
Maybe I missed something, but what’s wrong with guys talking about fashion for those that are interested in it? I’m not that into it myself, but I don’t see why it would illicit this kind of a response?
Discord is such a terrible platform for large scale communication.
Nothing pisses me off more than looking for a support link and being told you have to go to a discord. It’s terrible to search, generally requires a bunch of hoops to jump through verifying you’re not a bot and almost never has the info you’re looking for anyways.
Plus Discord is a shitty company removing features from paid users (custom tags) and forcing changes to be more like Twitter.

Discord is great for making servers for friends. That’s about where my use of it ends.
I don’t think discord is the way forward. Lemmy on web is awesome but the app on mobile needs a lot of work to be remotely good.
There are already multiple mobile clients in development and they made quite huge jumps already.
I’m currently using connect on Android, but also Jerboa saw massive development progress - although I would wish, they would test their updates more, because there seemed to be always some kind of regression.
But didn’t try it for some time now, maybe this already changedI go to Discord for very different reasons than to Lemmy/Reddit. Lemmy allows any arbitrary number of parallel dicussions on specific topics, the same cannot be said for what’s essentially a bundle of chat rooms.
