    I think you underestimate just how difficult making a app like discord fast is. It’s quite impressive how well it works tbh

      element do it, and do better, it’s just company wanting money but don’t want to spend money fixing it, that’s why it’s electron, and not other better alternative, it’s cheap and easy to develop, not fast

        You must be in only tiny rooms because element absolutely dies when joining anything busy. They recently implement sliding sync to help mitigate this.

        Also yeah, the discord desktop app is garbage, I’ll admit, but I’m talking about the website

    Since when did people stop liking Discord? It’s still so much better than any of the chat clients that came before it. I have never had any issues with it for what I use it for.

    I will never go back to the days of Skype, ventrilo, or TeamSpeak. Slow, worse ui/ux, and less feature rich from what I can remember.

    Also, why would use Discord’s website?

      I stopped liking discord the very first time I launched the application and saw what a piece of shit it was.

      Doesn’t make it good

      I will never go back to the days of Skype, ventrilo, or TeamSpeak.

      The fact that you didn’t include IRC in this last as one of the “chat clients that came before it” makes me cry

      Also, why would use Discord’s website?

      Because their app is their website in a wrapper
