    I don’t really get a lot of what people want to use Discord for. A couple web forums I used (ram by companies, for specific games) closed and they moved to Discord. How is IRC-style chat a replacement for a forum? They’re totally different formats.

      While I do like discord. It is like you say a completely different format. Shouldn’t be compared to reddit.

      I honestly don’t know. Another big problem is that Discord is not publicly visible, so people won’t find information on it just by searching for things in a search engine. This means that engagement will be a good deal lower and the information posted there isn’t nearly as helpful, which I view as a strong detriment.

        Works well enough as a group chat / voice call app. That’s what it’s for. Before discord you had to pay for good group voice calls.
