> I disagree. To me, Discord is a huge barrier. I use it when I have to. But it‘s bloated, slow and complicated. I don’t want to run it constantly because of that, and it takes very long to start up.
Yea man, that's a you problem. Discords popularity speaks to how little of a problem any of that is for other people.
Anecdotal I've never thought of Discord as slow or "complicated".
- beepbooptheory 3y ago"If its popular, it just simply must be good," is such a poignant conceit these days. Like a portal to twenty years ago.
- sfn42 3y agoIt is good. I use discord all the time. We can make our own servers for free, easily invite people, talk in text or voice or even stream video. I also enjoy using discord for programming, it has awesome support for code blocks and all kinds of stuff. At work we use slack, I'd take discord over slack any time. That's not to say I think it makes sense for a programming language or library to use discord servers instead of documentation. Documentation is a minimum requirement in my book. But if they also have a discord server, I might consider visiting it.
