Stop trying to force me to use Discord-An angry rant.

[LeonardMT]

Stop trying to force me to use Discord. It won't work. I won't use it. I don't care what you have to say to me. I don't care why I may need to contact you, as soon as you say "use Discord" there will only be rejection.

Why I despise Discord

Discord is lazy. It's client is a election app. What is an Electron app you may ask. Well Electron is software framework made for web developers (who are lazy by the way as was shown with the xhtml 2 html5 debacle) where it's basically Chromium (Chrome) except it only renders one offline web page. Why is this bad? Because it's Chrome. They could: A. Make a native client that would not be such a hog. B. Stop wasting their resources on a useless client that does literally nothing and focus on some of the other things on this list.

It's a proprietary protocol and a bad one at that. If you're going to force me to use a proprietary protocol then it better be good, but everything else with Discord it's crap. It does't even have end to end encryption.

IRC exists. It's an open protocol with native clients on almost every platform.

Discord Inc. is also a garbage company with them encourage people to harass who dares to like lightmode. Also darkmode isn't really all that good at all. Most darkmodes don't save battery because it's a gray rather then a true black (the moronic darkmode fanboys prefer this) and even if you do have the correct darkmode you'll need to OLED screen to turn off those pixels. And darkmode is known for making text harder to read.

Discord is also a scam. It may look free but once you get large enough you will need to pay up.
And I haven't even gotten to the "community" yet. It is littered with pedos, weebs, furies, etc. And that is before the Gen Y, X, Z, λ garbage.

No one's forcing you to use a specific app

Yes people are, whether it's getting support for a FOSS project, a mod, or something else.

i responded to this thread on discord

I absolutely agree with your points. I haven't used Discord for years, whenever it is a requirement I realise I'm missing out on something cool, regret it, and move on...

Though since you mentioned IRC, there's a more mature protocol: XMPP. Fortunately or not, the vast majority of users there are tech nerds.

the reason why i don't use discord is because of bad experience with the community. they are all ass.... but at the same time i miss them

I just use discord for personal friends, nothing else. I don't understand how your literally forced out of your will to use it though.

since you mention it... tbh... my friend's discord persona is worse (and hornier) than their irl counterpart. another reason why i don't use it
