what is leftypol’s opinion on discord
i think it sucks. i hate the new UI and the community is mean and rude for no reason. and i believe there are better alternatives to discord like matrix element or revolt
There isn't a single positive aspect about it besides the easy VC (I had only used it twice in 4 years) and the number of people on Discord.
And I absolutely hate when open-source projects use it as their main talking channel or just offer that option as the general one (most people will gravitate there).
I just found Typst which is incredible but they do not have a matrix, IRC, XMPP or anything, just Discord and the Discourse forum IG, but they do not serve the same function.
They social medias (bluesky and mastodon) are open-source and they host on github yet they use discord which is an absolutely cancer.
