I've been telling my friends for months that if I were to create a startup I would use discord over slack, and my argument is always predicated around the fact that if you want to have a voice conversation with someone and share your screen the flow for it is easily 5x better than the slack calls.

They laugh at me, but I think its a viable use case

Look up their terms of service before considering it for work use. At the end of the day Discord is not enterprise software, and so will never be considered seriously for it.

This is a good point, one of the points that my friend made is that without a comparable revenue model you always run the risk of Discord shutting down whereas Slack wouldn't. With that said, I would happily pay for an enhanced nitro subscription to discord that allowed for enterprise use

Some SLAs at the very least would be nice. At present they don't even guarantee that they won't delete your data randomly for any or no reason.

Slack has a better ecosystem of work related add-ons, but to be honest I've never found those to be useful. I agree I'd prefer Discord.

The work add-ons for slack is something which is a strong selling point, but I've found Discord hooks to be straightforward to set up for my use cases.
