Am I the odd one out for actually liking discord? Or is most of this hate specifically for using discord for FOSS projects? As a replacement for MSN Messenger/Skype/Ventrillo Discord is actually pretty great for hanging out with friends
Discord is an OK chat app. But it's TERRIBLE as a support forum. It's precisely the latter that everyone is complaining about.
I also need to point out here that anything posted to discord is now their intellectual property by law. That's quite a deal breaker and honestly should not work with any open source projects
I didn't know that. That single reason alone is enough to completely exclude discord from open source projects.
