Discord isn't enterprise software and I feel really bad for anyone who wants to use it as such. Microsoft Teams is without a doubt the only thing threatening Slack, Discord is an entirely different beast.
- whateveracct 6y agoDiscord is why Slack doesn't have mass consumer appeal. They can't compete in that market.
- halfmatthalfcat 6y agoThey aren’t going after the same demo though. The market is big enough for both of them to exist. The path for Discord is a lot more hazy than Slack imo.
- whateveracct 6y agoI think for Slack to be truly bigger than it got, it needed both demos. Being workplace only has a ceiling.
- lock-free 6y agoWho wants mass consumer appeal? Consumers don't pay for things. Discord has like a $2billion valuation and no exit. Slack had a $24 billion IPO. Consumer software is not as valuable as enterprise.
- corobo 6y agoSlacks pricing is what they don't have mass consumer appeal. I'm not paying to make the logs you're obviously keeping anyway visible lmao As a business with employees sure, but as a community? You couldn't have moved everyone to discord faster
- jachee 6y ago$currentjob switched to Teams 7 months ago, and I still miss Slack every day. The only ones who I haven't heard lament the switch are the ones whose budget Slack used to (and o365 does) cone from.
