    There is no alternative because the software is irrelevant. The communities are what’s good about it, and the alternatives don’t have that.

    Sure, if you want to start a chatroom with some friends, you can do a lot better than discord, but if you want what used to be discussion boards on specific topics, you’re stuck with discord as that’s where everyone went.

      Again, be the difference. I harass companies over mail because I don’t want to fucking use Discord to get project or order status updates.
