Discord is pretty trash gaymerware, but you're using a four year old Skype version.

Anyways, I agree with you on the rest. It's sad people have picked this up, I absolutely despise it because of all the "muh gaymen culture!" shit.

IRC + mumble is the only correct option

Boo hoo.

If you're this easily angered by an online messaging service, get help.

My personal issues with Discord is the fact that it is not free and open source software.

Also, enjoy your skype DDoS and exploits.

maybe he's referring to the fact that skype leaks your IP to people you call.

Cringe marketing aside, Discord is simply the best at what it does if you don't care about botnet issues. You can hate it all you want but why did it take so long for someone to make something where anyone can sign up in 5 seconds, download a small/easy app on any platform or even use the browser, and have instant voice calls/group chat/text message boards/private messages.

Sure tech savvy people can set up custom private IRC servers, mumble servers, etc. but chatting by nature requires other people to use it (wide adoption) and you know damn well no one is going do all that shit just to chat. And even if they do, it's still doesn't have stuff that Discord has like link/image previews and drag+drop, emotes (yes, normies need these or they won't use your shit), etc.

Really, where? Was it all in one easy to use package? I realize you can achieve the same thing with open source software, and tons of customization/autism, but remember normies need something easy and accessible. And chat/voice software is the one thing where you MUST cater to normies, because the whole point of the software is to communicate with others which you won't be doing if no one else is using the platform.

>>59038052

Skype was missing the whole forum/message board-esque server system that Discord has. Not to mention the whole ability to have bots and stuff Discord servers. If you're only about the voice chat/group chat features then yea Skype had it, but it also had tons of ads all over the place and MS is an even worse botnet then whatever Discord is.

unless suddenly screenshots start taking up 50mb+ and gaymers really want to facecam with other players rather than just voice chat, it's pretty clear this service was made with porn sharing in mind.

Lets have... I dont even get why anyone would use Mumble or Ventrilo at this point.

You can even have a normal voice server layout in Skype. You need groups so you can start specific group calls. People cant just hop in and out whenever they please, they need an invite first.

Who cares about any of that shit. It's literally marketed for gamers.

It's miles ahead of Skype in that regard. Dropping skype has been a pleasure.

>Complains about stupid shit and symantics in a messaging program whose main purpose is a communication platform for gamers

Really makes you think.

It's not as good as mumble or ts3, but at least nobody is asking me to fire up Skype anymore.
If you wanna really hate a chat platform, try logging into your workplace's Microsoft Teams.

>>59038100
skype was a cluster fuck, especially if you talked with someone a long ways away.

Then skype locked my account automatically, and got thrown around from person to person for a good week before I was told 'There is nothing we can do, you have to make a new skype account' and I told the person to go fuck themselves.

Me and a friend were looking for a new chat program to use for games anyway, and discord checked every single box we used, easy to use, if program breaks, we can use the online version, and we can invite randoms to the server for groups, shit works good for that purpose FAR more than skype where we would have to deal with them for longer than just the length of the game.

>>59040835
beating trolls with ugly stick

Why

>>59041495
lst time I had skype open it was over 500mb ram use, and constant 5-25% cpu use depending on uptime. discord currently uses .5 cpu and less than 200 mb of ram.

>>59041573
because that's what you want, a chat program that no one uses.

>>59041575
Its objectively superior to skype and everyone I know uses it. Thats about it really, and honestly the interface is pretty enough considering the plugin options with BD.

>>59041552
Because im not masochistic, and trying to get a normal person to use irc is a nightmare.

No, imperative programming with first-class functions and closures. Even function pointers alone are tremendously powerful, but are not intrinsically part of the idea of imperative programming.

Like why do people care. You send me a discord link to play some gaymes I'll click it and be autistic with you on mic.

dude, getting a normal person to use irc is the equivalent of taking away the ui of the os and telling them the commands.

Sure they may figure it out at some point, but fuck me if it isn't painful as hell, with every single server having arbitrary rules and being largely a trial by fire. There is no practice, there is no learning, you are expected to be an expert and if you aren't banned. fuck the entirety of irc and its culture, it can rot for all I care, nothing useful is handled exclusively through irc anymore thank fucking god.

>>59037510
My friends use it. I don't because their privacy policy is just too agressive and they don't implement encryption besides TLS.

I'd use it if it became free software, implemented the Signal protocol and found another way to monetize that doesn't involve collecting user data.

i like that it tries to consolidate web links, add thumbnails and short summaries of what you just linked

i don't like that i can never seem to find where the window border is. it's somewhere by the name of the chat at the top, somewhere, i'm just not sure where. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. it should just have a standard Windows border.

Pic related is literally Discord in a nutshell.

People who use Discord are all childish and annoying. People who refuse to use Discord are all autistic and have major personality flaws. I think the real issue is that the people on Discord are basically like young /g/ and /b/ from 2006, which means they're cancerous but have a future ahead of them, whereas people who use things like /g/ and IRC today are sort of failed humans who aren't going anywhere. Everyone I've met who uses 4chan is fat, unintelligent, works at Wendy's, etc.

>>59043139

Wut? You join a channel, read the topic which usually tells you the rules and you're good?

Sounds like you are mad at IRC because some clique chat room banned you. Don't join those.

>>59044039
nah, back in the day the only way to get shit was through irc, but every single irc set up their own rule set for what can and cant be said to get a file list, or even if you can get a file list.

Shit was trial by fire where you say the wrong command you are banned, the only places that have survived are either user friendly in how they handle irc, or moved to torrents/dedicated web hosting instead of irc.

>>59043688
A service is not a protocol or standard, and discord has enough usage in its target demographic that it's not some splinter fuckall linux distro, but the new king.

I genuinely pity you if you can't acknowledge the positive aspects of Discord. If it's not your favorite, that's fine. But if you think there are no merits to it and that it's terrible, I think you suffer from genuine delusions.

Easily the best VOIP+chat software I've ever installed, leagues ahead of Skype, Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, and Curse.

discord is easy to use, it has voice chat, text channels, file transfer, PMs/DMs, separate "guilds"(basically servers),
it has a desktop app, web version, mobile app and a robust and easy to use bot API for writing your own bots in almost any language...

it's basically IRC but way better and easier to use with way more features

sure you can't host your own but who cares? you can just create a "guild" or whatever it is and send an invite to your pals.

It's proprietary.

>>59046925
Relying on some shady company to host your shit (what is worse, proprietary shit) is pretty much asking for trouble.

The main advantage of Discord is that you can (partially) avoid the botnet by using the web version of it instead of installing the client on your PC. Javascript can do much less damage than executables because of sandboxing etc.

Riot does the same as Discord
but it's 100% free software and you can host your own servers.

Oh fuck.
My fears were true all along.

Why would I use this shit? It's literally "Random Chat Software Number 5744"

I've seen it all before. First, ICQ was all the rage, now it's dead. Then MSN, Yahoo Messenger, Xfire was the hot shit for gaymorz once etc etc. Now they're all dead or abandoned. The last time I spoke to someone via ICQ was like 10 years ago. All these hip and cool new protocols come and go, while IRC just stays forever. EFNET hasnt updated their software with any features since the early 90s. And you know what? it's comfy as fuck.

discord is awesome, you're literally a fag

also, in the OP post you don't have a single real argument

and as others have stated, I would rather use a web client I can log onto from anywhere rather than use skype or something.
this is the first system of its kind that is this easy to use - easier than irc, ventrillo, etc.
convenient for everyone, easy sign up, voice chat, can send pictures, what more do you want?

It is botnet though like everything else, but I would rather be part of a chinese botnet than a 3-letter botnet

It runs in a chromium container with hardware acceleration enabled, using your GPU to render everything you see.
This isn't a good thing.
If you run some other GPU intensive task, Discord will lag and stutter and shit all over itself.
If you disable hardware acceleration, it uses absurd amounts of CPU power and will cause erratic CPU temperatures.

Half the people here are petty fucks. It's slack interface with 96kbps OPUS voice, Foss interface, free on the web. Fuck off. If you have something you need privacy for then use IRC. Using a privately hosted IRC for shitting around is like using a APC vehicle to go to the supermarket. Sure you should keep the APC around but I wouldn't blow gas to go into the suburbs with it.

In conclusion kys and use the right tools for the job

Wew, I miss this shit.

I've been in control of two ts servers over the years, one being for a clan I used to co-lead which was a 250 slot, and a much smaller one for myself and my irl friends.

The clan ts had a constant rotation of guests, members, and officers (moderator was only given to people who had been an officer for a minimum of 6 months, so the actual administrative and moderation staff underwent changes very infrequently). The tools that I needed in ts were always easily accessible, and could be easily tuned if need be. Permissions were also super simple to understand and setup. Banning people from specific areas of the server was a great ability too, and kept some of the younger, more volatile members of the community in their respective rabbit holes. all of these sorts of tasks were even simpler to do on a smaller, more tight knit group of people on the smaller ts

So, after using ts almost daily since 2010, why did I switch to discord?

Accessibility.

You would not believe the amount of people who would straight up avoid ts because "it doesn't sound as good as x" or "it looks too confusing, I don't know how to use it" types of reasons. Especially around 2014 when the ts design, while I know it inside and out, It really began to show it's age. If you're a function over form kind of person, like most hardcore ts3 users are, you have most likely already made up your mind, so I'm not going to try and make you change.

But I can do everything I want to on discord that I was able to do with ts3, whether it's for 10 users or 100 users. Also, things like bots are so much easier to get working on discord, so if that;'s a feature your group of people might like, then it might be something to toy around with.

And I guess at this point it's just down to the little things, like being able to see the image previews and shit. If you're dug in on this issue, then nothing will change your opinion, but Discord has definitely lived up to my expectations.

Also one more thing, It should be said that I am concerned with Discord's ability to monetize and continue providing the service they have been so far. Nitro doesnt look to be worth it at all, unless having cross-server emojis and a gif avatar is worth it. Nobody I've talked to had shown any interest in it whatsoever, so they better come up with something or who knows where we'll be in a few years.

Can someone recomend me good Discord groups? Thank you guys.

Friendly Reminder Better Discord is now compromised and the dev's are untrustworthys

Feels good never using Skype or Discord.

True but thats not any worse than most other companies who let you delete your account but still keep your data

Discord sucks tho their only business plan is to sell it after a few years, they datamine like crazy and the ceo had his previous app banned from the appstore for sending payment data unencrypted creating a huge security risk. You're not the customer but the product and not even a product they wanna keep selling long so they could not care less about you.

Hi twitch shills

>>59044553

Because discord is for gaymers? I dunno. Slacks popularity escapes me. The client fucking blows, it will eat a ton of memory and crash the browser. I literally run it in Firefox so it doesn't fuck up my chrome.

Real tech companies are using xmpp since they can run their own server and not worry about third parties and where data is stored. It's mostly hip startups shilling slack who use it because it's the in thing at the moment.

>>59037510
Do you have any non-autistic reasons to hate on Discord though?

>>59049853

Right ITT. My main concern is that it's proprietary meaning that they're 100% selling their data.

I'd like someone to ellaborate on the "selling data" part.What exactly are they selling?The only thing they have on me is an email address.I haven't connected any other of my accounts and the chat is just filled with shitty memes.
I don't try to pull the "I have nothing to hide card" as i understand the meaning of privacy, but the whole selling data part seems a bit vague.Do they sell recorded conversation or permanently stored chat logs? Or they just send anonymous data about what games i play and shit like that.
In my opinion people that say discord hasn't been monetized yet are right.The main requirement for a service like this to be successfull is being used by a lot of people.You can make the best chat software but without a userbase it's fucked.They have a userbase and now they will start monetizing it.Let's hope it won't turn to shit.
