How did this piece of junk become the most used chat application for video game communities?

IRC and VOIP have been around for years prior
I don't get why discord specifically is such hot shit

>insanely low barrier to entry
is only real reason, the lower the barrier of entry is to something, the more likely its going to be trash
like vidya & the internet nowadays

its free and people use it

No company has ever respected your "Freedom." You have no actual Freedom. What you want out of "Freedom" is to say/do something edgy and controversial, then pretend as if your freedom is being taken away, so that you can complain about it.

Cry more grandpa, still paying for a Team Speak server?

Because nobody likes how the format and design looks? I'm sure its preference?

>voice quality better than TS
>light weight- both system side and network side

Are you fucking retarded? Since when the fuck is an Electron app LIGHTWEIGHT? Remove yourself from the gene pool you stupid nigger

every literal who can make their own discord and be a big fish in their small pond

The closest I used was Curse back in my Smite days.

Memes in settings and loading screens.

its free and intuitive, why would it not be the most popular?

>IRC
It requires some know-how and several "manual" steps that Discord automates.

>VoIP
Lol, really, we complaining about Discord being shit while comparing it to the koala of instant messaging plus voice chat?

>try to use discord to find matches for online emulators
>400 people in the room

>insanely low barrier to entry

you're retarded if you think that's why discord became so popular, other voip services were just as easy to use as discord, discord had more free options than its competitors and wasn't clawing at every orifice to try and get money out of you.

Discord uses very little data and nearly no memory

Blockchain discord clone where?

Ease of access, simple features and decent audio quality for the average person. Also its completely free.

Plus it helps that it came about around the time Skype became utterly unusable so there was a mass exodus.

Compare to other services that have a normie net that prevent widespread adoption.

dont know if this is any help but have you tried Parsec?

Nothing's wrong with it if you just use it for it's intended purposes and not some degenerate dating app.

Are you me? I'm in a server with over 5000 members and there are like one or two messages per week.

It's a Discord server for a very old game and it's their "official community" now, which doesn't make any sense, because their 20 year old forum is still up and running.

>Extremely easy to use
>Has voice and text chat that allows for easy image/video/link sharing
>Adding new members to calls is as easy as giving them a link they can copy-paste into a browser
and most importantly
>It's free

Skype was shit so people looked for a replacement. This had steam integration as well. IRC doesn't have voice or inline images / videos or emoji

Invite me to discord server anons

>people ask for years for a better alternative to Skype
>Discord is exactly that
>Yea Forums bitches about it constantly

skype went to shit and this was just as easy to use as well as free without all the ads and bullshit subscriptions and clunky old ass layout.

well, me and my friends used ventrilo until about 2016. I always liked how minimal ventrilo was, but the fact that discord had chat support that worked while people were offline was a big deal. we never wanted to use skype, so that aspect was a big upgrade.

Because, apparently there's something about the community that bothers Yea Forums. or the aesthetic, I don't know.

No, I mostly just use Dolphin and NES/SNES Party. I might give that a shot though if there's a community for it.

no decent alternatives

I use it because my friends are fucking retards that cant use TeamSpeak, skype is a shit, all of the other irc/voip programs are fucking gone except for online chatrooms. Discord would be god tier if it wasn't for the dumbass gaymer advertising, and there are barely any complaints other than le privacy meme, and if you don't use carrier pigeons only why are you talking about privacy

that's because Yea Forums is filled with retards who go into degenerate communities and then complain as to why said communities exist when they could just ignore it

It took the ergonomics of slack, which was just IRC but with modern conveniences, and sold them to a gaming audience. Most importantly, it's free and works in a browser.
Fundamentally, they simply didn't fuck up majorly in any particular way, which both text and voice chat apps always seem to do.

I don't know anything about discord. Just that I hate it for sure.

It's chinese spyware.

Why does no one use mumble anymore? it's superior to every other option.

based and fosspilled, people are going to get assfucked so hard from using this botnet

The average gamer these days is borderline legally retarded so they need shitware that caters to retards.

Literally this.
People were tired of having to download an IRC client, a voice client, an image/file sharing solution, etc.

We get it, you're an admin on some fag's discord server, congrats janny junior

do you have a single fact to back that up?

so is steam and epic gamestore 99 percent chance you are using them

>>he uses any browser that isn't tor
I don't.
>>he doesn't encrpyt his data
I do.
>>he has email services
I selfhost.
>>he uses epic game store
>>he uses steam
I don't. Why would you pay for 0s and 1s.
>>he installs games online
I don't. I have an offline gaming console.

>tfw use Ripcord instead of the vanilla discord client
It's much lighter and doesn't run on fucking electron cancel.fm/ripcord/

The fuck is a chink going to do to me? Especially after Trump is slapping Tariffs left and right.

Because text chat in mumble is shit

Because a chat that the browser just loads automatically with no setup beyond a basic standard web signup is far easier for the vast majority of users than trying to use IRC or get any old VOIP app to connect.
You have to remember that Skype was the previous go-to for most Discord users, and Skype is awful. A few used vent or teamspeak, which suffer from all sorts of setup, server management and 'can you hear me now' issues.

tl;dr for the average web user, "it just werks"

>No company has ever respected your "Freedom." You have no actual Freedom. What you want out of "Freedom" is to say/do something edgy and controversial, then pretend as if your freedom is being taken away, so that you can complain about it.
You don't understand what software freedom is.

You must be trolling. Discord is using 193MB of memory right now -- it is unjustifiable for any chat app to use that much memory. Weechat uses ONE MB. How do you explain this bloat on the scale of two orders of magnitude?

They are confusing the software with the few trannies that use it.

It's lightweight compared to Skype. That's how fucking bad Skype was and is.

they monetarily incentivized spamming the referral links to people's "servers"

people love to sacrifice their freedom for convenience. enjoy the spyware, gamers.

There are some reasons to hate on Discord like their awful EPIK GAYMER marketing. I unironically feel like people would hate it less if they acted more corporate like Skype.

What isn’t

>Does Ripcord cost anything?
>Eventually, it will. Probably between $10 and $30.

Because it's easy af. I use it for simply fucking voice chat, that I can hop into when ever I want. I'm not some autist who pretends he cares about some chink spying on me. If you think Discord is some sort of devil and isn't simply an easy to use voice chat with server mechanics that are good to keep in touch with mates, then you're either a retard and should kys or you have no friends and should find some.

use ripcord retard

It's been free the past 2 years I've been using it

The only thing I really don't like about Discord is its ebin meme patchnotes that don't explain shit.

literally nothing, just dont join retarded servers and chat with people you actually like to hang out with. But Yea Forums just likes to walk into servers and bitch about them instead of ignoring them entirely

Ripcord is propietary software, and it still sends all your messages to Discord's spyware servers.
Use IRC instead.

This is the only thing that bothers me about Discord. It has become a replacement for providing information where the general public could read it. Want more info on a fan translation? Join the discord, we're not gonna bother posting updates on a dedicated site or thread anymore! Again though, this is a community problem and not a problem with the application itself.

I believe the majority of discord groups Yea Forums goes into are the one's made and linked to by other Yea Forumsirgins so no wonder they always end up in these apparent shitty drama discords and have nothing but vile shit to say about the entire app

>Yea Forums is filled with trannies
>nearly every Yea Forums discord gets bombarded with faggotry and the immediate split from drama creating several faction discord groups because no one on Yea Forums actually likes each other

Unironically blame faggots with irrational fear of being ddosd. No one would join mumble or ts with that excuse

Theadly reminder that Discord has its origins from an FFXI ERP session, the CTO being the best geared, most famous and richest player in the MMO and him naming his chat program after some slut that used to send him /tells, cheating on her British fiance in the process.
And he's a Slav

most people follow trends and this piece of shit software is gonna be the new fad for a long time.
IRC is too hard for normies.

Last time I saw this thread, people said to use riot.im, but that shit manages to be less user friendly than setting up your own IRC and Mumble servers.

Right? I expected to make some new connections but nobody actually talks in these shitholes

>but many people I talk to use discord only at this point
Then don't talk to them.

Skype was good for my purposed, then the retards at microsoft turned it into a mobile lookalike

MSN had screenshare? That's pretty ahead of its time

MSN Messenger really was ahead of its time, I miss it and I miss talking to my sprite comic friends there.

Easier to use than Teamspeak, even though teamspeak is superior.

Convenience and shitty competition.
Skype had quality drops and ads.
Teamspeak and Mumble needed servers

So you're telling me it's better to use an older software that offers less feature instead of using a much better one? If your argument for not using discord is all because of "snoy" then you're actually brain damaged.

Name one (1) better alternative.

MSN is propietary Microsoft cancer.
You only miss it because you're a zoomer with nostalgia for it.

We live in a globalized world, moron, and it's becoming more and more connected. Your country's (or wherever you travel) law can and will change at any moment, and whatever social, political or whatever groups you belong to (like just playing certains genres of vidya) can be considered inmoral or even illegal in the future, and the state WILL use any information they can to purgue whoever they want/ need, including a quick info trade with China/USA.

You know damn well some dumbass little kid who enjoys putting all his personal info publicly online is gonna read anything or take advice. They’re the retarded script kiddies of the modern world.

Take a screenshot of your non-propietary operative system right the fuck now

There's no alternative if you want to talk to normal fags.

Make something better then. Note: in order to make something better it will need to be free in all three senses of the word free: beer, freedom, and MOST IMPORTANTLY — time.

FOSS programs almost always either completely ignore or don't understand that last one. Until FOSS devs realize and understand this, your meme "solutions" like GIMP, Mumble, etc. will ALWAYS be ignored as a serious solution to problems.

Ripcord is propietary software, and it still sends all your messages to Discord's spyware servers.

Well, if you want your shitty voicechat so much just use GNU Jami.
I pirate all my games on it, have you ever heard about console hacking?. I only paid for the console, which is a physical object and not a combination of numbers.
You can use IRC through Tor, retard.
Both are garbage.

Usually it starts with someone high enough in a company (but who knows jack shit about computer) who heard about it somewhere. Then proceed to ask IT to deploy slack for everyone but it's that new cool thing he reads about, makes people collaborate more etc. Once the organization is contaminated it's seriously hard to go back.

Both Google and Microsoft offers better solutions that are faster, more customizable and don't run like shit.

This literally, it's even worse when you need to join 3~4 different ones because your organization is too retarded to gather everything in one place and some departments decided to run their own servers.

The only people that are scared their info would get leaked itt are the ones with actual cp stored in their pc, most don't give a crap.

>retard joins random degenerate discord servers
>doesn't like it
>blames the whole app for it

It's a pretty ancient internet thing to be completey unable to separate select "communities" from the services they use, it's why places like tumblr and so on have their reputations, it happens a lot with fandoms too, people have been attributing the shit they don't like in random discords and honestly there are some pretty fucked up things going on in random discords, the popularity of traps online has incentivized young boys to whore themselves out like girls have for decades online, and it just so happens that transexualism is on the rise so a lot of these boys end up trying that out for a bit maybe even, so people have started to attribute this stuff to the discord app itself, even though if you use it like a normal person and just use it to talk to friends and like minded people, it's really useful and good.
Anyone reading this, if you really don't like discord because of "trannies", or some other zoomer cancer shit maybe stop joining those groups, it's pretty heavily tied in with meme culture and so on, the reason you aint jiving with it is because you're not a teen anymore, you're invading teen spaces pretty much, all this shit happened online in forums and shit, just happens that teens use social media and apps like discord now, it's nothing new it's just consolidated to the few spaces teens use.
Just stop using them and stick to friend servers or specific hobby/game servers, not "meme" or general ones.

There are a bunch, that's why no one is giving you one specifically

Try having actual friends to convince to ditch Discord.

why do you browse reddit

It seems to be the only argument anybody uses against it, that it's going to steal/sell their info. As if every other piece of software they use doesn't already do that. Literally none of these people provide better alternative either so I don't get it.

It's the new place teens hangout online, that's why you're finding nothing but furries and weird teen girl kink talk.
Join servers with more specialized points, like for specific games or hobbies, don't join "general" or "meme" discords, don't join discords for things teens or kids enjoy, they will be full of children.
Discord has broken into mainstream appeal so you need to be more picky or you end up with the bulk of it's users, which happens to be people between 13-22

LMFAO you have to be fucking kidding. Reddit is designed for tryhards and normies to feel good about themselves. Why do you think shit like "when she be suckin" is popular, even still? Or why Wojack is posted over and over? Because you post it on Reddit, you get a million upvotes, and you think you're a fucking comedian. It literally pays to recycle memes like crazy because underaged faggots like you get a dopamine high when you see your epic upboats go up.

D) It functions well on phones, tablets and PCs, so it can be used by every stripe of gamer rather than just PC users.
E) Is designed for versatility of function rather than the specific purpose of gaming like Vent and TeamSpeak.
F) All of the above.

wtf this is way too accurate

Can some kind user give me an invite to their server?

I'm lonely and have lots of funny images.

>Free software will always be better than propietary ones, as they are ethical.
Nobody cares about ethics. The only thing people care about is "how effectively does this allow me to accomplish my task?" GIMP is laughed at as image editing software not because it's free but rather because its developers are absolutely retarded and anyone who works in image manipulation knows this. There is a reason why Photoshop is the de facto industry standard and that reason is that it allows people to MAXIMIZE THEIR WORKFLOW WITH A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF HASSLE. GIMP is nothing but hassle for vastly inferior results. Even Affinity Photo and Paint.NET do GIMP's job better than GIMP.

I want you to reread that last paragraph because I believe your thick head hasn't fully comprehended it. Discord is popular because it meets user needs for a VOIP and chat client; has a desktop application, runs in a web browser, and has a mobile interface; and MOST IMPORTANTLY is easy enough to use that someone with no technical knowledge is capable of deploying it effectively for their use case. In other words: it does not waste time.

You want to unseat Discord? Make something FOSS that does NOT WASTE PEOPLE'S TIME. Of course, that would require FOSS developers to have talent and skill, and the decades of empirical evidence showing that FOSS has never been taken seriously by the masses makes it abundantly clear that will not and never will happen.

Congratulations, the fruits of your quest for "freedom" have brought you nothing but irrelevance and mockery.

Why is this the only reason? If you value privacy, you’re a pedophile? Fuck you dude. I don’t want Papa Gov looking over my shoulder and watching every thing I do. What if I have opinions that they don’t agree with and I voice them? You’re trying to normalize the hellscape that Britain has turned in to because you want government to run your whole life.

short-sighted devs that don't allow voip for the dead? in any case, it should only be between other dead players, not with the living.

if the game says you're out of the game and can't influence it further, using discord or any other communication method to relay observer information to players is cheating.

The only things dragging discord down are :
-Subpar sound quality
-Information theft
-Community (note you don't have to interact with it)
-Performance(?)

Aside from that, it's much better than most alternatives in pretty much every aspect imaginable practicality wise.

Nothing in that post is about security, you autistic Yea Forumstard.

So recommend me a better alternative then oh wise one.

I could use 30 programs instead of Discord and they would still use less RAM and CPU, and be more consistent and not have constant connection problems

internet privacy is netsec you dumbass

Discord has long passed the point of being for video games only. Everyone and their mother has a discord nowadays.

Not him but mumble

if you only need voip mumble
if you only need chatrooms irc
discord got popular cause it integrated both and removed the extra steps required to set up either

You don't need text chat if you're playing a videogame you fucking retard.

no but i use my phone to browse Yea Forums sometimes and that is my calculator
boy you must really hate smart phones

Its an easy way to chat and play fighting/co-op games with my friends. Thats pretty much it.

I never use voice.

Not really, it uses 10x as much RAM as it should and doesn't function as well as alternatives that use less RAM and provide more functionality.

Then you wouldn't need Discord because you could just use IRC.

That post had nothing to do with privacy. You don't even know what FTP stands for.

Unironically kill yourself, Yea Forumstard.

twitch.tv/twisted_rock

I agree that external VoiPs cause issues for some games that utilized the voice chat in game in interesting or tactical ways, but there were others before discord. Ventrillo, Teamspeak, etc.

Because its only real competition at the time was an outdated relic, and a burning trashfire.

there's no excuse to use any of that shit other than being a paranoid schizo privacy obsessed goon
go sell drugs or whatever the fuck you do linux using tard

None of my friends are in IRC anymore. Or in Steam chat at that.
The phone Discord GUI is far better than any of the phone IRC clients I've seen, while at that.

>doesn't function as well as alternatives that use less RAM and provide more functionality.
like? every other post has people saying there's apps that are strictly better than discord but all i keep seeing is mumble and IRC which are both shit

Cringe zoomer shit.

This is 1 of the reasons I despise discord. Something which is mostly prevalent in online games like mmos, is the effect discord has on them. Discord funnels away social interaction to outside their games. How many times have you joined a guild or whatever it's called in your game, only to the discover the guild chat is dead and most of it happens in the guild discord?

>Spending time learning GIMP equals lost revenue
You've already lost enough revenue learning PS after every forced update changes it.
I've only ever used GIMP, so I find PS unusable. Who the fuck though that UI was a good idea?
>If they were just as good, they would be just as used
False. People use what's "popular". As gigantic propietary software developers have their shill teams working 24/7, they'll always be popular
You might as well claim that people who protect their free speech are crazy anarchists.
I hate all phones equally. Just buy a ThinkPad x200t if you want to browse Yea Forums on the shitter.

>hey come use teamspeak

>and doesn't function as well as alternatives that use less RAM and provide more functionality.

the funny part is that people bitch about discords "bloat" but it still only uses 250mb for me which is literally nothing when you have 16gb ram

nobody on Yea Forums has friends and that's what discord is best for
public discord servers are cancerous

What happened to riot.im?

How is this bad for a guild in an MMO.

you unironically should be put down for being such a fucking retard
next unibomber you are

That happened before Discord. They funneled to Mumble, to IRCs, to personal forums, it always happened.

You gotta be kidding me if you think there is anyone working on GIMP that actually has a single idea about usability, or even knows what usability is. It is a text case definition of programmer interface.

Mine's only using 260 right now, but with some servers open it spikes up to between half a gig and the full gig and it'll hard crash some games when it tries to access that much

Used by pedos, at least the ones that know better than to use discord.
That is to say, it's pretty good, just not popular.

it's free and it works well

Jesus are you 8? You’ve never fucking heard of any of those? I’m so fucking tired of you computer illiterate fucks. Sell your computer and go work on that farm you flyover hick worthless piece of shit.

Well I doesn't expect have to be me fapping with another person. Just a discord that have people that likes fapping to traps or lolis.

It encourages people to not play to continue interacting. It turns the Guild from a community *within that MMO* to "just a community". I've watched a WoW guild 'devolve' into a 'general games' channel and go from 60+ active conversationalists to like ten

Universality, it's got a massive market share so to speak. If I meet someone somewhere, there's a good chance they have Discord and rather than having to keep in mind where I talk to this guy, I just add him to my list of contacts. Obviously if I'm in a group, I'm in a group on Discord with at most 8 or so people. Sometimes people get invited to places relevant, sometimes I get invited. It's really just one big centralised gaming (and other similar interests like anime and art) networking tool with overwhelming CONVENIENCE which grows by the day with more and more areas represented on there, bringing more people to it. Obviously chatting apps like Whattsapp, Facebook messenger, and SnapChat will always be used by normies for normie stuff, but for talking to strangers online about stuff and for voice chat with friends, it can't be beat. Only downside is you need to already have some friends to get started, which I bet is where you guys fall apart.

>Public servers for anything other than finding information dumps and being able to ask and answer questions about the subject matter
Yikes. A pro tip for Discord, as soon as you're on a server with channels such as

>#meme_dump
>#food-porn
>#music (if it's not relevant to the subject matter)

Oh good, so it hasn't changed after all. Took about 300+ posts for someone to mention riot/matrix when usually you'd have someone from /g/ to pop in and mention it as a good replacement for the modern/smartphone design addicted crowd, i.e Discord. I was getting worried.

i don't even know how to use this piece of shit program, the UI si so bloated and fucked, i have no idea what im doint, i can't even add my friend

You have no fucking idea how stupid you are. Good luck feeding yourself if you can’t figure out some simple shit on a computer. I design software architecture for a living and you’re calling me stupid? Hahaha.

is your CPU Intel OR AMD? if so, you're being tracked, fucking NSA bootlicking faggot

get with the times old man

I don't know. but I feel like we'll have an interesting conversation and a hilarious time.

I have an i5 9600k. Not cutting edge by any means, but there's no excuse for any VOIP program to be using more than 1% of my CPU at any given time. Unless of course, it's coded by retarded monkeys for retarded monkeys, like Discord.
That's nice but if your CPU is more than twice as strong as mine no VOIP program should be using more than half a percent of it. Imagine actually defending one of the worst popular chap apps ever created. But hey, at least it's slightly better than Skype I guess.

It's not a consistent piece of software, user.

Marketing and ease of use for retards..

The truly galaxy brain option is realizing true freedom is not possible, and it is better to enjoy what you have instead of wasting your time in impossible ideals.

Yeah, it's horribly coded, has constant connection issues, lacks basic VOIP features like network quality settings, frequently switches audio devices away from the default for no reason, BUT IT EMBEDS MY EBIN MAY-MAYS FROM REDDIT SO IT'S GOOD!!!!

Intcel CPUs made before 2008 don't have the ME.

>Ah yes a 100 people have died already so won't matter if you kill a couple 100 more.

For lurkers, discord/steam/skype/irc friend threads were always a red flag for undesirables, even on Yea Forums. It was never the main way to actually bond with strangers over vidyagaems but as it is now you might get lucky and make a good friend even if you choose to go through those retard honeypots.

>linux garbage
>simple shit
good reason no one uses it

You probably won't. Finding decent people you get along with is difficult anywhere. This isn't any different.

If your "friends" left you because of a chat program they weren't your friends.
You can make your philosophical jaded speeches all you want but that's a fact, it's just a chat program and you're an unlikeable retard.

I don't want to socialize with weirdos, I want to talk about programming or technical aspects of drawing without some faggot posting memes or porn images.
I just want serious discussion.

Personally I advocate that it's easy to use, not good. I feel your frustration, though. I know people who LITERALLY can't figure out how to connect to a mumble server so this is for them.

how can it be consistent when people are in different servers?
true brains realize that slavery to a good system is the best option

I only use discord for my raid group. Even then I frequently try to get them to switch to real voip programs since we've had multiple good runs wiped by Discord deciding to kick half the party mid-fight or just shitting itself and crashing for everyone simultaneously. But they don't want to switch because Mumble won't let them have a channel to post mediocre hentai in.

>not using ventrilo

get off my vent or I'll have you bent

this. skype was fucking abysmal and most people lack the attention to bother with TS. it also works a a social hub that is exclusive to your friend group, with no ads intruding.

So much more convenient to hop into VC when you are down to play and ping everyone instead of trying to schedule something in advance.

>not using a fully encripted mumble private server

then go look for it instead of wasting your time here arguing you waste of oxygen

You really think it’s a joke? Your personal information is literally sold to marketing agencies, data farms and repositories, and then resold elsewhere. If you’ve ever been to a clinic or hospital, your credit card information which you used to pay for your visit has been leaked and taken. You’re so fucking stupid. I bet you pray to god (lol) every night your breathes for you when you forget.

I fucking miss msn bros....

They have no authority in their lives and they want to delude themselves that they're in a position of authority by being an admin for some shitty discord

maybe there is a good Discord server for that, and they keep it low so as to not attract too much people, to avoid retards
or maybe there is no good Discord server for that, how about you make one and invite smart people and kick out dumbos and memesters?

>he fell for the 2008 meme

>Personally I advocate that it's easy to use, not good.
Ease of use isn't something to advocate for all the time though. People trying to play multiplayer videogames where communication being cut can lead to a wipe/game loss/etc. shouldn't be using a program that will frequently cause that just because it's "easier to use". It's frustrating that people would rather use it because they're incapable of copying and pasting an IP address.

An idle connection to an empty voice server shouldn't "range" CPU usage. Unless you wish to suggest that handling "no network traffic" is more resource-intensive based on where the 'no traffic' is coming from.

MSN... HOME

You heard the user, everyone destroy your cities and go live in huts like fucking cavemen.

>>he fell for the 2008 meme
I've also fallen for the pre-2003 meme.
Your point?

Good Discord servers don't exist

Discord is unironically the worst thing to ever happen to gaming since the advent of day 1 DLC and MTX.

Honestly I'm surprised no-one has revived it.
I fucking loved MSN Messenger

can be used from the browser

But "Frequently" is not a guarantee. I haven't had a Discord server disconnect on me in a solid month, which is no more frequent than the connection issues I've had with VoIP in the past.
You're right, it *is* frustrating that people would rather not attempt to learn, but this is the world we live in.

retarded faggots here would argue how the community is bad and that their data would get stolen if they could

reminder that MSN died because of MS buying Skype

i wish Skype bankrups

>An idle connection to an empty voice server
but its much more than that
think of all the pictures in your server that you are currently in.
all the other shit like listening to pings from other servers too

Just because your autismal ass is not invited doesn't mean they do not exist.
Gatekeeping, it works for all kind of communities including Discord chats.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with day 1 dlc

my point is that you're being tracked, faglord

me and my friends' discord is good, so you're wrong
checkmate

I think it sucks when there is a Discord for a game and most of the conversations are off topic garbage. Or when people in there don't even play the game.

Not him, but Discord prioritizes servers differently. Basically the program is not only so shit that your CPU usage will fluctuate when there's no traffic, but it can end up higher on average just because the chink overlords that made that piece of garbage software are playing favorites with whatever server you're connected to. All those screenshots of people with low CPU usage are probably discord marketers connected to a priority server (or just lying and not connected at all)

>my point is that you're being tracked, faglord
Being tracked by my CPU is far better than being tracked by literally everything else too.

>sup bros join my guild
>here's our discord bro we dont talk ingame
Burn in hell, simply

Yeah no one who wants a good job in the tech industry. Enjoy flipping burgers. I just bought an apartment complex last year and hired a property management company so it’s almost a passive income stream.

>join a discord server
>it has a "loli" channel
>all the pedos hang out there

literally every server i joined so far

I don't use discord except when required to get access to information I need, so of course I'm not invited to any. It doesn't change the fact that they're inherently garbage because the LITERAL only advantage Discord has over real software is ease of use, which means that everyone using it is a stupid subhuman who is incapable of using real software, which means everyone who willingly uses it is of no value.

Oh, like Yea Forums.

There is literally 0 reason to have a dedicated loli channel unless it's a porn discord.

Why should I care? It's people's business what they're doing in their private time. I don't care about the authors. I care about the service and how the customer is treated.

im in 10 servers right now and not one of them even has a porn channel what the fuck are you doing retard
loli is also against ToS so fucking report it

This is fair, I hadn't considered the idle spooking on the out-of-focus (but still active) alternative channels.

I'm sorry this particular piece of junk doesn't strike your fancy as much as the other pieces of junk, but it just so happens to be the least bad option.

Nah, that gets you banned from discord. Use riot instead.

Unlike Discord, Mumble is free and open source, chang.

I never implied it’s safe. But you can remain anonymous if you weren’t such an ignorant loser with only 2 brain cells to run together.

>and any cell phones you have, not even old Nokias are safe
I know. Do you think I'm stupid enough to buy one of those?
>they're tracking everything you do on your PC through your CPU
Not proven. Using pre-2003 CPUs makes the chnaces of that quite slim. We can go even earlier if you're paranoid.

The same reason why Reddit is extremely popular. Anyone can make a community and ranking members matters a lot to the general public. It gives dedicated people a sense of security and authority when they are a mod or a valued member of the community. Then normal people show respect or a good attitude towards the higher ranked people so it feels good to be respected or liked.

they sell games and a pseudo-subscription service, it may be free but they still make money in non-shady ways.
spam mail is inevitable when you sign up for a lot of shit, many websites get compromised and emails are leaked constantly, nobody is going to pay for an email when it's already so easy to get them.

It's a tale as old as time, Yea Forums blames the program itself for cancer instead of blaming the cancer. Before Discord it was Skype groups and before Skype groups it was IRC, it's impossible to get it through Yea Forums's collective head that big chatrooms are cancer and always have been.

Also it is INSANELY easy to blame anything you don't like on an organized Discord group that you don't actually have to prove exists (you can either duck out of the thread or everyone will just magically believe you, no questions asked) so it makes a great scapegoat.

>8CH

I'm trying to appeal to mentally sane people.

>doesn't play mp games
why bother
have a good day user

I hate the community behind discord as well as cancerous culture it cultivates. Aside from secuirty and data privacy issues, I don't really have a problem with the program itself. It hosts voice channels very easily with super configurable user roles. You can even write bots for your server as well. It supports good voice chat and has PTT and voice activation with options to help tweak them to be a little better. It even does screensharing very easily and with a decent quality for the free version. The problem is that every e-celeb faggot has their own server and all the attention whores want a piece of the ego boosting server admin pie. My high school friends were all on the same ventrillo server since the days of CS:Source, when discord came around we there was 4 seperate servers because they all wanted to be head admin and the center of attention, and servers are free on Discord. Even worse, the shitty culture behind twitch infests itself in discord for the aformentioned reasons, complete with the gay fucking twitch emotes that should have never EVER left twitch because of how retarded they sound. So now you're left with some decentralized shitfest of servers with WACKY MEME roles, notifications out of the ass by default, and constant ego inflation.

the mentally sane people aren't the one trying to convince losers to use linux trash in a Yea Forums thread because of an "upcoming war"

>yes, i'm sitting in a 96kpbs VC as we speak and I can tell Discord to make the packets high priority
And yet on the client's end there is no customization. They're at the whims of the server owner, and even then, if they change the settings, then everyone else has to suffer lower audio quality for the sake of the potato internet guy. Meanwhile a real program would allow the users to set the quality and not the server.
>maybe stop having 5 million audio devices set up and just pick one from the fucking list

My biggest problem with Discord is how much FUCKING memory it takes up because it's Electron cancer.

schizophrenia and paranoia

Xfire was the peak allin one client
