Discord is amazing and a gamechanger for my WoW guild. We get to interact so much more than we ever did with Ventrilo. Love it.
Well, the Tencent involvement didn't do anything, so I think it might be a while until something happens here.
Don't care for all the other stuff they add, but basic functionaility is amazing

At first Discord was excellent but lately it's buggy, twice in the last week i closed discord and it crashed GW2, both times GW2 diagnostic crash tool identified Discord as the reason, for damn near 4 months it was causing SFV to randomly run at 30fps or lower, i tried everything but didn't realize Discord was the problem, caused issues with other games too..they need to stop adding so much shit it's causing problems..
Servers being private unless you get invited by someone from in the server will prevent or at least delay the whole "our parents are using it now, time to move onto something else" phenomenon.
Already there! To my knowledge, they've yet to issue any sort of statement regarding how they intend to tackle the growing trend of hate groups adopting the platform. It was also name-checked in a big Buzzfeed story as recent as yesterday for being a safe haven for hate groups. The difference between Discord and other social platforms is that it's bringing the worst elements of IRC culture back into the mainstream. These groups can organize faster, be more efficient, and maintain greater anonymity when compared to other modern social media platforms, with the additional benefit of it being a hip platform to younger audiences. If they're actually addressing this issue then they don't seem to be making great progress.
I used that too for a short time but it always messed with certificates you had to request from the host every time you had to join a server. Sound quality wasn't that great too.
Feels longer than that. I remember transitioning from Team Speak with a few Siege servers. It was interesting.
Mumble had by far the best codec out of ventrilo / teamspeak / skype and it wasnt even close
I never got it to sound good at least, maybe it was the server I joined that was messy?
Discord is amazing. It has brought so many communities together. It gave my 10 years old Warcraft III clan a new life and I am in many Discord communities learning about new things, discussing games and other stuff. It's truly a great platform.
Happy birthday Discord!
Happy birthday Discord!
Discord is a system through which people communicate easily and quickly, so of course hate groups are going to use it. Discord has already taken action in the past (https://twitter.com/discordapp/status/897170310348263426), and is a generally left-leaning organization.
It's a difficult problem; how you just outright monitor every single private server (of which there are millions)? Do you task legions of people to just make judgment calls? Do you trust an algorithm? It's not perfect, but they're at least doing something about it.
I use both Mumble and Discord at the same time and Mumble has cleaner quality, both are configured personally too but Discord is just easier for others.
Discord has private servers and the owner of the server is given great authority over their server. So, unless discord becomes a social thing like Facebook and has stuff like forcefully sharing stuff of other servers into yours, I really don't have an issue with it. I choose to see what I wanna see and block anything I don't wanna see.
Shit, I remember helping some freshman move in at college and learning about Discord through him. That was almost 3 years ago now. I remember the first server I ever joined aside from ones for group projects in school was the RefreshGAF server a couple years ago back when we were desperately trying to get tickets for the Playstation E3 Experience. Now I'm in something like 4 anime servers, including AnimeEra.
You mean the store that people should have fought for instead of the epic store for a variety of reasons?
I promise I don't wanna derail the thread, it just stings a bit that the good platform with a new store wasn't given a chance cause it didn't play dirty.
Anyway, it's crazy that discord is already 4 years old. I use it every single day, great platform and much deserved success.
Looking forward to the eventual Microsoft acquisition and use as the new XBox client/store/overlay on PC
It's neat except for when their employees decide what rule to bother enforcing that day https://www.reddit.com/r/internetdr...rd_drama_uallthefoxes_now_from_the_trust_and/
Discord is my most desired next gen feature for Sony. I hate being separate from chatting with my friend but platform. Yes I know I can run remote play on my desktop and talk to them there. But it's cumbersome, annoying and requires running my PS4.
Growing pains for any company trying to enforce trust and safety on a rapidly expanding platform with over a quarter billion users. It's easy to criticize until you've had to solve problems at scale.
Not that they are faultless, but this often happens due to incompetence and growing pains, not malice.
Anyways, happy bday, Discord!
You're forgetting that the Discord store also used exclusivity periods for its titles. :X
I mean I don't think they've never not had an open position for the trust and safety team, it's really damn hard to be consistent when you have thousands of reports to go through.
True, but for 30 days (MUCH more reasonable imo). I could go on, but I really don't want to turn this thread into a store debate, I just lacked the self control to not mention it when the opportunity was presented lmao.
EDIT: Okay, 90 days. My memory was foggy, but either way, less than a year.
