Discord is horrible and I don't understand why so many people like it so much. First thing I do when joining a new "server" is to mute all and any broadcast (@everyone/@here/roles) mentions. Broadcast mentions should have never been invented.

People like it because people enjoy ownership and power. That and it's way more user friendly for newcomers. Also before Zoom got popular, it was the best voice chat for a while.

    Well yes, but the illusion is enough for enough people.

      Also probably why security theater (TSA et al) still exists.

        I'm officially coining Ownership Theatre for Discord, Fandom, and Reddit.

For me, discord was an easy way to get friends on voice chat together. The chat functionality is a nice bonus.
