There is no way to schedule meetings, easily review or archive chat logs, the interface is cancerous and full of useless gimmicks that can't be turned off.
There are hundreds of suggestions in the feedback system to make this turd more bearable to use but none of them ever materialize. Some of those suggestions were already proposed last year. The devs seem more active on their stupid subplebbit than their own website.
If this application would be open source at least those suggested features could be implemented by users themselves. But stupid ass devs want it all locked down.
At the end of day it's an ultra-shitty IRC replacement with voice chat. Shit I'm furious any of you idiots actually use it.
Discord is, by it's very nature, a piece of gamerware (software for gamers), and therefore it is utterly a piece of cancerous garbage. I suggest you use Skype :)
Jonathan Young
Skype is closed turd too.
Henry Cruz
I have to ask but is Discord the new american tech meme? It's always out of nowhere that people try to push us into new services when the old ones work just fine.
Dominic King
>skype >works fine Good joke
Owen Rodriguez
who the fuck is trying to schedule meetings and archive chat logs using a gaming voip... its for gamers to easily setup a server and talk to friends... im actually shocked that you can be this retarded.
Joshua Thomas
skype was good before it got sold to micropajeet
Alexander Williams
Discord is actually great if you use it for what it's for.
Caleb Ward
Guys why cant i make pizza with my teflon pan. Omg it sucks
Mason Martin
Why are you surprised? Discord is literally Sup Forums: the proprietary chat application.
Easton Scott
What do you suggest fot voice chat with only 1-2 other people thats not skype?
Lincoln Robinson
if you want an alternative to skype then use tox or pidgin. If you wanna voip then mummble or teamspeak. Both skype and discord are awful.
Ethan Harris
Tox I made the logo
Jeremiah Roberts
Opensource? No thanks I dont want some insecure amateur project
Jack Cook
>Schedule meetings
That's my main complaint with slack too - I don't mind that it doesn't have voip, as everyone has Skype, but it's frustrating that it doesn't have shared calendars. It would be especially nice if it could integrate a linked calendar of sorts, which can pull information from all major services.
Jordan Cruz
>no thanks i don't want freedom
Jacob Reed
You can put a botnet in yourself famalam. That's freedom.
Xavier Brooks
>insecure
It's encrypted communication and open source meaning you can fully view the source code. You cannot get more secure than this.
Owen Harris
>There is no way to schedule meetings nigga why the fuck do you need a meeting to just play CSGO or league
Easton Cruz
>Meetings Nigga this isn't fucking SharePoint, get a grip you fuckin plen
Oliver Foster
Slack
Camden Jones
Try Wire fampai. It's like Skype/Discord without the ad/spyware of Skype and the "gaymur maymays XD" of Discord.
Dylan Powell
Biggest beef is the shit voice quality compared to TS3
Are people really that easy to band wagon shit due to hype, or just deaf?
Jose Hughes
most people just don't care
Ryan Bennett
> I'm angry that you use something I don't like
Ryder Howard
They dont care that they have to keep asking what the shit people said because it keeps cutting out, or going into robot voice?
the fuck?, even skype is better than this in voice quality.
Carter Hernandez
Oh, I though you were referring to bitrate, not actual connection drops/packet loss
Jaxson Scott
I wonder if corp rats only came after hearing about the infamous hacker, or if shitchan's always had corp rats
Brody Jackson
really an app name discord is not very productive? go fucking figure...
It does its job. Unless you are completely autistic (lmao I forgot where I was).

Discord is a godsend for podcast interviews, and by far the best solution for the target audience. Stop complaining, because your WOW clan stopped using your riced out mumble server, you gigacucks.
Don't like it, make a better client.
Colton Bennett
Skype is even more cancer and so are you.
Liam Perry
>ridiculously simple to use
A lot of programs are. Not a good metric to compare.
>don't even need to download a program
Like that's an issue with anyone.
>highly functional browser based version
Refer to previous.
>you can even have tech illiterate normies up and running in minutes
I'm not concerned about normies.
>good chat quality
Text chat? They one where if you want to review previous messages you have to contstantly scroll up and wait for it them to load? Or the one that starts auto-editing your last message? Or maybe the one that has hard to read gray-on-gray text?
>dark theme doesn't look like pure cancer
It sure does though. There's also nothing compact about the application.
>free w/o ads (for now)
They're coming due time and considering it's a closed source application it won't be possible to remove or filter them.
>unlimited free servers
For now...
>good text chat and chat bot functionality
That's part of community effort. Discord devs still suck ass.
>lightyears ahead of ts3 and mumble
I don't see an argument here.
Dylan Brown
>Shit I'm furious any of you idiots actually use it. I wouldn't even have known it existed if you idiots didn't keep shilling it on Sup Forums
Just fuck off already with your proprietary garbage, either make something free or don't bother telling me about it
Austin Wood
The real question is how they're going to monetize You think they're already selling user data, or just still sucking that VC teat dry as long as they can? They say they're going to move into cosmetic purchaseables but we've yet to see any progress towards that.
Jordan Evans
Nobody cares freetard. Go jerk off to your IRC abandonware.
Jose Foster
>not a good metric to compare So being convoluted as fuck is a good thing? It's much simpler to use than ts3, mumble, hell, even skype >like that's an issue Perfect for use on a work laptop, when you're not supposed to download foreign programs, and speaking with people that don't want or need to download it. Ie: talking with dad, who won't be using it regularly >not concerned with normies Other people have to be. This is not an argument. >chat quality I meant VoIP. Better than Skype, and on par with mumble, plus several extra features, such as speaker overlay >cancer Subjective. Are you seriously implying any of the alternatives even come close, aesthetically? >Free Time will tell. I'd be willing to pay a small one-time fee. It's a good service >Discord devs suck ass. How does that take away from the previous statement? >I don't see an argument here. Me either
Nicholas Johnson
>uses a chat/gaming source for business.
Id fuck off right now pal
Mason Clark
You can change the bitrate for the channels. Not sure what can be done for the packet dropping, etc.
Joseph Ortiz
even on max its shit.
Cooper Harris
>Discord
Christian Russell
It's because with TeamSpeak someone has to host the server, and the guy who hosts it is in charge With Discord you can have your "own" private server without paying a cent Which actually rises a question, how Discord is planning to make money from the service? It's amassing a huge userbase by being completely free but this can't last forever.
Also their "desktop" client is a joke.
Jonathan Harris
I hate it, but all my fucking friends are apparently incapable of using IRC.
Camden Jackson
>but this can't last forever I think there's more of an issue with paying the developers rather than hosting tons of text.
Julian Davis
their desktop client is fucking chrome in a new skin lmao
Luke Thomas
Why does this exist github.com/Zyst/discord-Sup Forums-theme
Christopher Bell
It's proprietary. That should be more than sufficient to dissuade you from using it.
Dominic Gray
it has more features than TS3, their mobile app is free and my friends are loving not having to pay the hosting other than the voice quality being a bit shittier, i don't see why i shouldn't use it (for now)
Ethan Stewart
Man just use irc its very good. IDk why you all left irc to start desu.
Joshua Gonzalez
Because all my normie friends would get scared by IRC and no voice chat
Jace Cooper
Besides voice chat discord has channel linking so everyone is informed what's available. If you only use single channel then basically IRC is better.
Kevin White
IRC has no voice chat (no, DCC is not an option)
Worst thing is that Discord today is literally the best VoIP/chat application for non-tech savvy people, but it doesn't work as a replacement for IRC/Skype/XMPP/etc.
Jace Smith
>Which actually rises a question, how Discord is planning to make money from the service?
Sell the service to someone.
Eventually it will change for the sake of monetization and when they screw up even slightly Curse is lying in wait.
Thomas Walker
No one on Sup Forums would unironically recommend Skype
I hope
Elijah Morgan
>XMPP There is another protocol that tries to fix the mess of XMPP: matrix.org
Mason Hill
>Skype I'd say Discord replaces it pretty well. The main thing Skype would have over it is video-calling, as far as my experience goes.
Matthew Hall
it was dead on arrival why would ANYONE use a web browser disguised as standalone program?
Dylan Richardson
Download the channel list and set up tinychat sessions as needed????
Aaron Price
yeah gonna stream fappy times with gf on tinychat
what could possibly go wrong
Dominic Powell
It does the job good for what it's for, I don't know what you are complaining about OP
Christopher Reyes
Are the servers able to be personally hosted? Is it as secure as running your own IRC network, rather than one of the existing ones? Or is this like slack, where you use their infrastructure?
It has potential to improve on IRC features, it is at least normie friendly by comparison.
Angel Sanders
>why would ANYONE use a web browser disguised as standalone program? Why not? It's convenient to use, while more lightweight than Skype.
Carter Green
It's closed source and everything is kept in their servers. Bot host services also have access to this data. The data isn't secure.
