    I like the continued migrations from Reddit but Discord doesn’t seem like the best destination

      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?

    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.

      If people thought that Reddit’s search was bad, they have quite the surprise waiting on discord!

    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.
