    I never got the appeal of Discord anyway, after a while it simply becomes a dump of notifications that I cannot follow up on.

      To some extent Discord servers have replaced forums and now you have to try to search through a chat room’s history to find out info instead of using a forum. Seems like a pretty big downgrade.

      I agree, even if it is much more active and has quite good ways to catch up on past conversation, the notifications and various icons and unusable emoticons make it feel bloated.

      You can mute servers or chat channels inside servers. People like it because it is nice looking, has all their favourite emojis and gif memes. And decent voice chat.

        I have them muted, but it always feels overwhelming for me to catch up with servers I try to follow. The information is either not structured at all, or too structured/scattered that you won’t find anything useful anymore. I myself indeed use it for voice when playing some games, but it is in no way a replacement for a chatroom or forum, it is in my opinion too chaotic for that.

        It’s also one of the better instant messaging applications, and it’s great for community interactions.
