Oh, the service itself is decent, up to great depending on your criteria. Pretty much never down, works well enough, etc.
It's the privacy and bullshit behind the service that's hated. Well, usually, some people hate the layout, and others hate the fact that it's the default for so many people that it's difficult to avoid.
Also don't forget the walled garden. Some niche topics only have information and support on discord, which isn't accessible to anyone like the general internet
Yeah, discord is excellent for what it was made: sharing memes and voice chat. But somehow it completely replaced classic discussion boards and it sucks at that.
