Not shilling, just curious. Why are so many people against discord?

/g/ doesn't like anything popular. How new are you?

>>55635773
It provides convenience at the cost of your freedom and security. That's why we don't like it. Just use Mumble.

>>55635773
Because it became popular in a shit way, everyone forced it on twitch and shilled it 24/7 on there, also the "for le gamers" marketing is fucking pathetic.

every discord i've been in is cancerous as hell, which is nice because it keeps the cancer from discovering/wanting to use IRC

>>55635819
>le cancer haha
make your own server then, dipshit

>>55635807
This.

forget about the autists
its a great app, try it
and this is why you must never take recommendations from /g/

>>55635850
hmm no thanks, i'd rather not

nice reading comprehension though

>>55635870

so /g/ thinks a product is bad because their marketing is successful

>pretty much discord with a light theme

looks promising but its also a week old
will be interesting to see where it ends up
you happen to be one of the devs?

>>55635935
That looks neat, but it's the first time I hear of it. How many people use it?

If you are in it for the bots, memes and botnet Discord is the place you want to go.
TeamSpeak, Mumble even Ventrilo is better.

>>55635932
It's also not open source and their marketing team didn't do that great of a job either. They're marketing exclusively to gamers and that's the problem. Skype, while being as bad as it is, is used by businesses and live TV broadcasts. Discord will most likely never be used by businesses and other consumers rather than gamers.

But there have to worry about slack in the commercial market. Discord can't handle that competition. However, technologically illiterate gamers are a largely untapped market.

The marketing is cringeworthy and I've heard there are security flaws in both the client and the server (emphasis on heard, it's closed source). However, it is extremely easy to use for normies and it's much easier to get friends to just click a link instead of having to explain what the fuck IRC even is. Overall, I recommend it, but don't use it for security-minded communication.

Why is fucking EVERYONE on that server?

proprietary shit

Only the /v/ part of this board cares about this shit. True Gentoomen use IRC.

>>55636661
But IRC has no voice communication.

>>55636813
Good, I hate voice chat anyway.

>>55636347

/r/ing this

>>55635773
Its GUI and countless bugs piss me off. It is no better than Skype.

>>55636813
Thank god

>>55635983
nope

>>55636661
every /g/ IRC channel sucks

>>55637209
I found a /g/ discord, it has like 5 people and 10 text channels.

It's just /g/, and /g/'s opinion doesn't matter.

>>55637400
Discord still doesn't have a cam chat or screen sharing feature, but they said it will come soon. Once that's done skype can be replaced.

>>55637440
You may not be a lawyer, but you clearly are retarded.

Why is the ui so complicated compared to irc? I literally don't get how to use discord at all. Everything is counterintuitive.

>>55635773
anyone who plays video games on any competitive level will use mumble

>>55637669
It's made for gamers - literal idiots. If you can't understand it then you are clinically retarded.

It's good!?

>>55635773
it's certainly better than skype

>>55640464
yes and getting a nigger dick in your anus is better than getting two nigger dicks in your anus.

It's way better than skype and absolutely more convenient than IRC, at least for mobile use. IRC is still good but it's really starting to show its age, kinda miss using it though.

>>55637440
Want to sign my legally binding contract too? You don't have to read it or anything lol what r u a lawyer or something

>>55637669
I've used IRC for the past 10 years or even more and Discord is definitely easier to use and set-up. Come on now, I know it's new and popular but stop acting stupid.

>>55640475
some might disagree

I use it to play videogames with friends and shitpost. Its really easy to setup and convenient to use, so convincing my friends to use it was easy.

Post discord channels for me to frequent

>>55636813
>no voice communication

If you can't type at least as fast as you can speak, then you're not worthy.

This.

It's only good for talking to normalfags. I'm really uncomfortable with the permanent history and try to use it as little as possible.

It took a huge fucking chunk out of my teamspeak. Although alot of them were speakers, some were great men. I'm even starting to miss some of those little shits, they were somewhat entertaining at the least.
Not only my main community took a hit but my main dota buddies left the Skype group to join discord, sure they're a bunch of faggot who did it just so they could spam gifs. But now we barely talk and they just play wow.
Discord has personally struck my so called "social life" on the Internet and I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive it for that.

>>55636813
>implying I want to hear background noise and random shit from other people while doing stuff
voice communication always gives me headaches, I only use it when it is absolutely necessary

>>55635935

>no windows client
it's like they don't want people to use it?

>>55635773
it's an "app"

You can't even look at the settings without registering and logging in. It doesn't follow any GUI conventions. It is also ANOTHER GOD DAMN VOIP CLIENT in an already saturated market.

Weeb server. comfy only

It's a fine service.
Nothing wrong with it.
But it's like IRC channels, it promotes circlejerking. Or rather, people immediately start using services like this for circlejerking and it's fucking obnoxious. No-one fucking cares about your dumb IRC channel I mean discord server

>>55635773
>What is the benefit from owning your own servers?
get a server and then we'll talk.

>>55640478
Good. People tapping on mobile have rarely anything good to say. At the very least they simply cant keep their wpm up with typical IRC convo.

>>55635803
OH No! They're gonna steal my 360 no scopes bro

>>55640955
How do you leave channels, or check your server ping? How do you check channel statuses?

When "good marketing" means that people are using something simply because its owners are good at attention grabbing rather than for reasons related to the product itself, then it's hardly a bad thing to be against good marketing.

Good joke. Ubuntu is literally a shadow of its former self. Every release full of bugs due to developers trying to meet deadlines. Literally no joke less stable than Arch.
