What do you think of Telegram, compared to Discord?
Telegram has one feature I miss in Discord: quote replies. It makes easier to follow conversations in a crowded channel. It is the most upvoted feature in the Discord feedback tool: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360030063152-Quoting https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/3600....
But Telegram misses a lot of things provided by Discord: multiple channels on the same server to organize conversations, reactions/likes, voice, the possibility to transfer ownership of an existing server.
- wetpaws 8y agoDiscord is a replacement for irc, telegram is a replacement for messenger/blogs. You can't really compare them, it's like matching oranges and apples.
- ngrilly 8y agoI agree that Telegram is primarily a messaging app like WhatsApp or Messenger. But its group feature has become really powerful, and can be used as an alternative to IRC (except for the fact that a "group" can't be divided in multiple channels). Some Mozilla groups have been using Telegram for some time: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Telegram https://wiki.mozilla.org/Telegram
- sciurus 8y agoI think part of the nature of Mozilla is that we end up using everything. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some groups using Discord, too. My team and related ones are still mostly on IRC. Officially, as employees we're all supposed to be using Slack...
- dralley 8y agoSame thing at Red Hat. Most of engineering runs off IRC, most of consulting runs off of Rocket.chat, I hear sales and marketing uses slack, and the "official" company solution is Gchat. And a half dozen other little enclaves.
