I wish more communities would use Discord. The single sign-on alone makes it super convenient, but all around I just like the experience better than Slack, from login, to sharing channels, going by the actual UX (I haven't used the app in a while. Back then it needed a bit of love. Dunno if its still the case).
Every time I try to join a Slack community, it starts with "Ok, where' the darn link for it", to having to sign up, and looking at my computer's resources dying under the load and everything lagging if I'm navigating old comments from search (if there even is any, since free communities get truncated pretty hard).
I know there's a bunch of missing features, especially for corporate use, but for the stuff a lot of these communities use it for, Discord just works better.
The only thing that used to be a big issue for me was dealing with servers with a large amount of channels (since you kind of always join all of them by default. Is that still the case?). Channel organization by category is quite nice though.
- acemarke 9y agoYeah, you're still automatically part of all channels all the time. The current workaround is to go to all channels you don't care about, and mute them. Annoying, but it's a one-time thing.
- shados 9y agoYeah though Im part of some slacks with 1200+ channels. That would not be fun in Discord-land.
