Frankly, if they can tolerate discord as their sole bit of online presence, I don’t think they’d fit in here all that well.

I've used dozens of IRCs in the past, but discord is the one I'll never understand. And I don't really know why I hate it so much.

Discord is fine instead of IRC I guess? But it's not a forum. It's chat rooms. Totally different thing and not an alternative to Reddit, is it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

No it's not a replacement and probably just self promotion. I was just saying how Discord is the one IRC I could never get into.

Discord is an excellent chatroom. How the fuck did it replace almost all online forums?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Its a popular chatroom, but its very shit and I hate it. All I need you to do is send text, how are you using over 500MB of RAM?

You can use an irc client to get into a discord chan, i've done it with polaris2k

Discord is for nubcakes who've never actually experienced any sort of legitimate chat room and think that's how they work

It feels cramped and stifling. It’s good at one thing, and that thing is not 300 user chat sessions.
