If only Discord weren't so incredibly bloated and full of stupid features aimed at 14-year-old gamers.

Ugh. Sigh.

My rugby team uses Discord for chat and announcements.

It feels…gross…inappropriate…it feels weird to use a UI covered in green gamer UI slime.

    God I hate the modern internet.

I'd actually flip that and suggest that people stop trying to use Discord for things that aren't aligned with Discord's product UI/UX priorities!

Discord is what it is, and my teenage kids love it. However I'm constantly baffled by it LOL.

  • I'm amazed Discord hasn't launched a corporate version of thier software yet, or that Slack hasn't seen the potential of static voice channels.

Or just not a buggy piece of crap. It’s more stable than it used to be, but I still run into random problems here and there. Much more often than with any other piece of software I use regularly, but I suppose most are becoming web apps anyways…

  • I keep Discord running in a Firefox tab. It typically only goes down when I have to restart the browser and I often have it up for weeks.

everytime discord ask me to claim this account i just quit the app. they operate in some bs tech realm that no other service does.
