Fuck Discord is the common message now, but how about we amplify good alternatives? It'll be easier to tell Discord to fuck off if we're already set to move elsewhere.

Forum's, websites, all the shit we used to do.

Bye bye Discord, you were never that good to begin with anyway.

For me it was replacement for Skype when it became shit in 2016

I will never understand the move from forums to discord. when discord is the only way to get assistance, I go find another product.

Discord is terrible for assistance.

Search is ineffective, you have to actually fight the UI to go back to older messages, depending on the device there are still somehow cases in which you can't go back to the beginning of a thread. But thank you for putting a huge reminder that I am currently "reading through old messages", silly me, why would I want to do that.

Oh, you're trying to scroll down through old posts? Let me suddenly refresh the list for no reason and bring you back to the most recent ones. Everything past the third screen might as well not exist anymore.

And of course, there is the slight problem of every useful info written there being completely invisible to the rest of the internet.

I hope me being in 30 different coomer discords helps me out

They've outright said you will need to verify regardless of what your current usage is.

Everything I've said is everybody is categorize as a teen unless the provide face/ID verification. So anonymous should still be allowed in general, just not to servers/channels set as age restricted.

Correct, takeaway being that being they're not going to assume you're an adult because you're in a shit ton of coomer discords.
