Yeah this checks out for me. Some people at work were pushing to move from slack to discord and I've never felt more like an old man.

UX preferences aside, I think it's a really bad fit for businesses compared to slack, because it seems to also want to be social media, where you have one profile across servers, where slack and others are team-centric.

At least discord delivers your notifications properly. When I used slack it constantly dropped notifications.

Yeah, to me that is just conveying a total lack of awareness and tech snobbery. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of adults using Discord.

i do not use poggers emojis or anime girl reactions in my conversations, or chat on platforms where mods have the arbitrary power to destroy your chat history. if you want to, that's fine, but it does not feel like a platform meant for people like me -- it feels like a platform for children and gamers

Do I need to bust out the CS Lewis quote? This sounds like the attitude of a person entirely too concerned about how serious and mature everything around them is.
