Unfortunately I have the opposite experience
- Abusive trust and safety team
- Constant outages for both users and bots
- Frontend is heavily bloated
- UI designed for money grab instead for the users

- qpery 8y agoBy judging all the strings in the client frontend, their help website, and my interactions with the support team, Discord is being run by some rather immature people.
- metildaa 8y agoDon't forget the wierd dependency hell when it comes to writing Discord bots in Python. They require you use an older version of Python that is "fun" to work with.
- busterarm 8y agoDiscord's trust and safety team has come under fire lately for their (until a week ago) lax policy on "cub content" (for those unfamiliar, it's the furry equivalent of child porn). Apparently some of the people on the team may have been participants in sharing it; there are number of furries on that team (at least: Tinyfeex, Allthefoxes). While I appreciate their technical accomplishments, this is one of those things that gives me chills about the company.
- rumblefrog 8y agoAs much as I want to support Discord, their goal from when they initially started as a company has shifted in an entirely new direction. I feel betrayed as a 2015 user.
- qpery 8y agoHonestly I don't know what you expected. There's no other way it could've ended. Voice, file uploads, etc are expensive. Don't fall in love with services. (Or with people ;P)
