@sonori the problem is that Discord tried to mix social media with Instant Messaging. This is not something that's working well. On one of them, you just talk to people, ask them about stuff and whatnot (this is why it is also called *direct* messaging). On other, you want to have stuff that is rather more easily accessible and has various other social functions - and it is also designed around it.

You also have a place where you can centralize all discussion (i.e. the feed) so you can at least get an idea of what is going on.

Discord (as a messaging app, primarily) is totally unfit for these tasks.
