Know that feeling
Don’t worry, once discord succeeds in killing every forum ever, you won’t be able to find anything like this again!
Discord is a poor replacement for forums. It’s like hearing every conversation in a nightclub all at once. IRC, ICQ, MSN Messenger, and AOL Chat never killed forums, and I doubt Discord will either.
I hope not. I don’t understand when people suggest discord as a replacement for forums or things like reddit. It’s not really the same thing at all.
And that’s to say nothing of it being pretty targeted towards gamers and gamer culture. I am a gamer and don’t mind it but it’s a barrier to adoption for people who aren’t at all into that.
I play video games. I don’t really like gamers or gamer culture very much at all.
Slack kills me. A group of friends of mine from college use it to stayb in touch. Our instance has a dozen or so users, half of them mostly lurk to stay in the loop. For us active members it would definitely be worth paying 7.25/mo or whatever it is, but we don’t want to lock out the others who don’t really use it so often and they definitely wouldn’t pay for it (and some can’t really afford it).
I wish they had a tier below Pro for personal use (we aren’t a business) that gave full post history and limited everything else and was maybe not per user billing but instead usage based. It’s such a great, intuitive platform and works perfectly for our group of friends except that you can’t go back to look at anything.
