It is not just a chatroom when done correctly.
And yes, I've been in chatrooms for literally ages (since the early 90s,) and Discord is amazing technology. As an example, the ability for multiple people to share video at the same time seamlessly is unmatched.
From my POV - the joint experience, with friends, is the best combination of party line / group text / watch party / joint experience available on the planet.
- seoulmetro 3y agoNo, it is just a chatroom when done correctly. Chatrooms have different forms, long and short. You mean stream their screens or share webcam stream? I'm confused how that is new. Your POV just means people are using chatrooms again in a modern PC environment. There's not much to credit Discord with.
- nickstinemates 3y agoOK. We can just agree to disagree.
- seoulmetro 3y agoSure. You're just wrong. Discord doesn't really do much wrong, or better. It just got popular for doing things that have already been done. It's the MSN of 2010s. Skype was even worse than MSN.
- nickstinemates 3y agoOk
- okdood64 3y agoI really don’t think you’ve used Discord enough, especially when it was getting big. The smoothness of the experience was unparalleled.
- seoulmetro 3y agoI have used it enough. The smoothness is terrible if you're not using it like a 90s instant chatroom. Or do you mean voice chat? Video streaming? Those are all pretty bog standard too.
