Theyve already solved the engineering part with Microsoft Teams. Even the UX is similar.
If they wanted to make a discord alternative, they'd just repaint MS Teams to have a more gamer-like UI.
These 10 billion are for the userbase alone.
- Felk 6y agoAre you talking about their backend tech specifically? Because the MS Teams frontend is lacking far behind Discord in terms of polish. It has 5% of the features and already performs like a bloated mess. It's hard to tell how robust their backend tech is but given that opening new voice channels takes 5-10 seconds, or that they had to update the client to have more inaccurate online statuses to fix backend performance issues does not give me much confidence either.
