I don’t really get a lot of what people want to use Discord for. A couple web forums I used (ram by companies, for specific games) closed and they moved to Discord. How is IRC-style chat a replacement for a forum? They’re totally different formats.
While I do like discord. It is like you say a completely different format. Shouldn’t be compared to reddit.
Preference? Being “cool with the kids”?
To be fair, they have Forum Channels.
That is an improvement for sure. The problem remains, though, that the info is locked in Discord and won’t show up on search engines.
Yes, but to be fair once again, some might see it as a good thing because it might drive up engagement and discourage lurking. I.e., if you already went through the trouble of creating an account, then why not post or comment?
That’s more like Twitter or Facebook, where you have a search result telling you certain info is available, but then you have to sign in to goes it. The problem with Discord is not knowing where the info is in the first place, as in which discord community. There could be many that cover a certain game, for instance.
It just doesn’t work for anything other than playing games together IMO.
Works well enough as a group chat / voice call app. That’s what it’s for. Before discord you had to pay for good group voice calls.
It’s good for things like support chat or quick questions.
