So I fucking hate this platform for a huge number of reasons, but just like I was forced to use normiebook to talk to anybody because they forgot what texting was, now I have to use this heaping pile of hot shit if I don't want to lose contact with everybody I know online.
But if I'm gunna be forced to use it, it may as well be functional. My biggest gripe with it right now is that I can't view more than one text channel (or server) side by side. Are there any known extensions for the browser version of this cancer platform that enable this or am I gunna have to bang my fist against a keyboard until a functioning script comes out?

It's only a problem because the furries, autistic trannies, and fetishistic diaper wearing littles flocked to it.

Discord != IRC client. It may mimic the protocol (though we have no way of telling since its closed source) but you cant connect to other IRC servers with it.
It's just a more invasive skype with better organization.

Rather use discord than skype. Most of my friends refuse to change from skype to anything else, citing that the "background noise is comfy" and that "skype is comfy and nostalgic" because that's what they've been using for the past 15 years.

I'd love to be able to individually adjust their fucking volumes so that their mechanical keyboard clicks wouldn't break my fucking ears along with their mic-breathing and other shit.

You're fucking lucky if your friends use discord.

The only thing that bothers me about Discord is its attempts to seem so nerdy xD / hip / cool. The cutesy gaymur loading screen messages are annoying, the emails about how discord has been "poppin' off" since I've been away are unnecessary.

Other than that, I like it.
>>
>>60919470
You can hate Discord all you want but it's more or less best IM platform right now

Free software failed to deliver a proper alternative to Skype when it was dying and now all the userbase moved to this crap

There's a shitton of issues with IRC and they're kind of being addressed with the new version of the protocol in the works, but god knows when it'll be finished
XMPP got killed by it's own modularity
Matrix development has been stalled and it's still missing some basic features that have been in Discord since it's release, plus the only client for it existing and being developed by Matrix team isn't truly "free"
>>
>>60921571
Matrix doesn't support group voice calls by design.
Riot.im supports them though, because they're implemented through a server-side hack, that I'm not even sure is open-source and probably going to be used as a monetization strategy.
None of the non-official clients support voice at all.
Official Matrix team is currently working on VR memes instead of the protocol itself.
Synapse has insane memory requirements: they recommend 1 GB for it to just werk, which is a joke in comparison to XMPP which can be hosted on 5-10 MB of ram.

It's half-baked shit and has been in this state since 2015, probably a stillborn project

Good things about Discord:

Bad things: Data tracking. Is like Skype.

I would just stick to Teamspeak for gaming

>Tencent invested a lot of money on it.

Probably because Discord is a growing platform that every gamer is jumping on due to how much better it is compared to other options on the market right now in terms of functionality, and Tencent holds a massive stake when it comes to the gaming industry.

So until my excessive ERP and porn sharing group is slapped for being against their ToS I'm going to doubt the existence of a botnet.

skype randomly killed my account, and I lost a good 20 friends who I only had contact with through skype... till that moment, I would have stuck with skype too... but fucking discord, if literally does everything I could want in a program and is easy to use for normal people, fuck you don't even need to download a program for it if you have a modern browser.

Shit is a godsent in pickup groups doing complicated content, but also versatile enough for day to day cat program between a group of friends.

my data i put into discord is

"nigga, remember the one cleric we had in the group that was constantly sparking a bong every 2 minutes"

and

"Fucking hell dude, we need a new group member, can you look for a tank"
>"Nigga what we need another tank for"
"Then fucking keep aggro off me"

And then some dark comedy images

If they can monetize the data I put into the application they deserve every penny they get, my hats off to whoever figures out how to do that.

I have to ask are people who bitch about font real on /g/ or are they just a meme I never caught on to?

The problem with irc is the lack of persistence. And unless you get a bouncer you can't easily continue a conversation when changing devices. The protocol is from another era.

The problem with Dicord, other than the botnet that not too much people care about and the one we do just use it for games and friends chats, is that the people who doesn't want all these retarded """"""""features"""", you must create a fucking script or maybe use it on the browser and create a custom css or whatever.
There is people who doesn't care about voice service or image sharing, but even without using them, it will have a look wasting space and being inefficient.
But, other than that, when you enable the IRC style, it looks OK and starts being usable.

Again, like some people said, it's good for not loosing contact with old friends and such.

It has a lot of faults for pure IRC users, but it will be getting better if those people start making scripts/CSS for it and fixing it.

"nigger" is a derogatory racist term. If reported to your employer, you risk losing your job. This is what you should expect when you don't value your privacy.
>>
>>60919486
It's less resource hungry than Skype and doesn't involve paying for a server like ventrilo. The voice chat is better than steam, and it has bot integration. What specifically don't you like about it besides no side by side windows? I can't think of any chat clients that can do that besides like... AIM.

Yes

That only means chinks have a large stake in it. Thats enough for me not to buy a laptop, but I need more proof to ditch this platform. Plus, not everyone is so wary of the asian jew

So lets say I'm an openminded normie.

What should I use to play video games with 3 other normies the /g/ way? Preferably opensource

Don't give in to the botnet. I'm never gonna use this piece of spying shit and you shouldn't either. We shouldn't just accept that a single company suddently is going to control a massive part of our communication traffic over the internet, all on a proprietary, closed platform in the cloud where we have no idea what happens to our data.
If your friends insist, get better friends or do as I do and rent a Mumble server instead (or set up something like Mattermost if you're at a working place).
>>
>>60943342
Probably Mumble... The only problem is the stupid Overlay (disable right away) and properly configuring voice activation. If they would finally implement an automatic method like discord or TS plenty of people would reconsider using it. When it comes to finding a server just choose some abandoned server... tons of these around

discord is killing 4chan and forums

I hate it too, but my meatspace friends refuse to use anything else. It's surreal, we're all around 30, it's like they all fucking forgot there were better ways.

It reminds me of the time we had PocketPC phones, then everybody forgot smartphones existed till the iPhone came out.
>>
>>60945734
Huh? Mumble has had a voice activation/push-to-talk wizard for ages, I've never found it any more difficult to use than TS or Discord or any of the others. The overlay should be disabled by default though.

I'd rather boards get less active and all the normalfags to fuck off to another platform.

There is so much better alternatives to Discord, but you probably never used anything but discord. You probably should make your own server on Matrix or use a Matrix client, it basically has all the discord features and even more, (except for they cringie memes) go for an Open Source alternative.
Discord doesn't respect your privacy at any level and also pushes on you their stupid terms use.

I'm really sick how people praise this piece of shit.
