Discord’s user base is 99% people who leave it running 100% of the time, it’s not a typical situation

  I think that they make the startup so horrible that people are more likely to leave it running.

    As a discord user, it's the kind of platform that I would want to have running to receive notifications, sort of like the SMS of gaming. A large part of my friend group use discord as the primary method of communication, even in an in person context (was at a festival a few months ago with a friend, and we would send texts over discord if we got split up) so maybe its not a common use case.

    I strongly doubt that!

      Hikacking my own comment to mention that the normal thing on forums when a reasonable person reads an unreasonable comment is they move on, which can make the comment stand unopposed which gives it credence it doesn’t deserve. I believe if more of us actually showed our disagreement out loud as I have here, it could change things sometimes.

    It leads to me dreading having to start it (or accidentally starting it - remember IE?) and opting for the browser instead.
