  Id say discord is a good place for already enstablished friend groups to hang out

    It’s an excellent chat program (except it’s pretty buggy on mobile). But it doesn’t function well as a forum replacement. The lack of discoverability is a big problem.

      Well yeah, because it’s not a forum.

        It’s increasing taking up the role of one. And I’m sad about it.

        I might stop being sad if its forum features become more used and Discord massively improved discoverability, but for now it sucks for people googling problems.

    Yeah… shooting some nonsense back and forth. But game devs that shoehorn stuff into discord making everything objectively worse while making everything unfindable… it drives me nuts!

    Not if those friends care about having their data sold to advertisers.

    discord requires a phone number to create an account. hard pass.

  Oh definitely. At least Reddit can be searched (let’s see for how long though)

    That’s an adult themed subreddit. You’ll need to sign in on the app thanks!

    At least Reddit can be searched by google^1,2,3^

    1 terms and conditions do apply
    2 you need an account for some subreddits
    3 you also need the app for some subreddits

    That’s not exactly true anymore. Reddit has deindexed itself.

  Most toxic moderators of large subreddits does come from discord.

  It’s a toss up, for me. Both managed to capture all discussion on major open source projects.

  • Badeendje@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yeah, I feel dirty for even saying this…

    Reddit allows site wide search, and recently contracted with Google to make their content accessible. Also old reddit content is searchable and thread based conversations can be followed.

    Discord is just a vast collection of independent black holes that gobble up information and data while its users collectively yell into the void of chat channels.

  If you’re looking for a discussion board and end up in a chat room, of course you’ll be disappointed. That one’s on the user, not the service.

  • Badeendje@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yeah, it’s just that devs of games guide everyone there and try and shoehorn it in. I don’t know how or why devs do this… just run your own forum with a chat module.

      Just say no. I don’t join any discord groups for crap like that, if it’s not on some public wiki, I don’t bother. Most games don’t need a community anyway, if I can’t find one readily available, I’ll enjoy it for what it is and move on to the next one.
