Discord's technical moat is not that large. They've done well, but it's not the same as something like Google or Microsoft or valve.

- BowBun 9mo agoHaving read their tech blogs about both the local video capture tech and their infrastructure optimizations, I disagree.
- ahhhhnoooo 8mo agoYou think discord is the same order of magnitude as a Microsoft or Google? Both of whom own major operating systems, browsers, ad platforms, office and workspace suites, app stores, cloud providers, search engines, maps products, developer tools suites, robotics, research laboratories, AI products, meeting and chat infrastructure, email products and any a million other things? The moat there is staggeringly large comparatively.
- BowBun 8mo agoI feel like you're nitpicking my comparison and misunderstanding what I said. I did not say these companies were technically equal. If you have more questions after rereading my statements, feel free to drop them in this thread.
