The Discord UX alone keeps me off it. Slack has the superior interface but with the Salesforce acquisition, I doubt it'll last for long. They've already snuffed out several communities' utility with their pricing plans.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoActually I think the UI is pretty good compared to, say, modern Reddit. The usage patterns are the problem.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoHah, while I find Discord UI quite awful, Reddit is worse. People keep telling me Reddit is this fantastic resource, but every time I look I find things with just a few trivial or wrong answers. Maybe I'm holding it wrong.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoYeah I feel the same way about Reddit. Most of the comments are not helpful, many are straight up incorrect, and I don't get the "Google is a Reddit search engine" meme at all. There are some niches that consolidate useful info there, like fandoms or weird topics/frameworks that are discussed nowhere else, but sadly that is largely moving to Discord.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoMaybe I'm just getting old, but I find Discord to be utterly confusing. I use it reluctantly when there's a community that uses it, but I don't enjoy using it.
