I've never liked neither Discord nor Slack. Besides them being Electron apps that throw every single system UI idiom out the window and behave like they're something else, they are just too easy to misuse and suck tremendously if they aren't something you use every day but only check occasionally. One thing that I don't like in Discord in particular is that if you haven't launched it for a month, you're in for a bad time. First, it's going to update like 7 times. Then, everything has a red badge on it. EVERYTHING. It's absolutely impossible to navigate through this mess of useless "server announcements" and other crap with @all in it. Also message replies are about as awkward as one could've made them.

> First, it's going to update like 7 times. I just use the website versions. No installs, no updates. Also means no global keybinds for voice chat, no automatic "currently playing ...", and no electron-specific XSS bugs - but that's fine by me. > Then, everything has a red badge on it. EVERYTHING. It's absolutely impossible to navigate through this mess of useless "server announcements" and other crap with @all in it. The per-server notification settings in Discord can let you mute these. The defaults are admittedly annoyingly permissive, resulting in a repeat annoyance that will eventually crop up every time I join a new server.
