Some of us can agree to disagree.
- TameAntelope 6y agoI have literally zero of those issues, so I'm curious why our experiences are so far apart... From my perspective, it's the best run communication platform on the Internet, bar none. If that's my view, then why do you have such trouble with it? What's pulling our experiences into such different directions?
- pessimizer 6y agoI've enjoyed using discord, but I also have all of these issues. You'd have to ask the software why it's nicer to you than us, and why it didn't by default exfiltrate the names of unrelated programs you had open.
- jeltz 6y agoI run it on Linux, maybe that is the difference. Discord segfaults for me quite regularly and is in general quite buggy.
- EamonnMR 6y agoI don't know if Skype got better but back when the universal switch to discord began, skype was very bad. It also crashed, it also had bugs, and its VOIP quality was poor (better than Adobe Connect or the stuff you'd see shipping with a AAA game, but still poor.)
