Not sure where the discord hate is coming from (besides the new mobile app). If you’re someone who has to use Teams for work, surely you’d kill to switch to Discord instead.
Imo it was unusable when the new UI just came out. It was sluggish af, and would take significantly longer to cold start.
I still don’t like how a lot of buttons that used to be easily accessible from pretty much anywhere are now behind submenus or flyouts or whatever, but at least it’s usable now.
Move your finger all the way up and tap on the server (arranged vertically)
Move your finger all the way down and tap on the message icon (arranged horizontally)
Move your finger all the way up and tap on the private message (arranged vertically).
Have fun having a conversation in a PM and a sever at the same time. In the old UI this was a swipe and a tap. The new UI is cumbersome and sucks ass.
And why does the message box, the most important element, only get 50% of the screen’s width? 99.999% of the time I do not want to send an attachment, a voice messsge, or gift fucking nitro. Why have the fucking buttons there all the time?
What do you use? Skype, teamspeak, mumble, ventrillo were all blown out of the water by discord imo, except for niche things like the whisper feature on ts for large groups
Discord, cause everyone is there. Curse Voice had it stomped by miles, any chat room had the chatroom feature beat, anyone could design a better UI, but it has everything in the same place, and I think being free and custom bots gave it critical mass.
Discord was a train wreck from the off

Thank god someone mentioned Teams. I don’t have it on mobile anymore, but the desktop app is insane.
I honestly like the new mobile experience. It seems more tidy.
When people say that it’s “literally unusable” I’m like “what the fuck were you using it for?”

To switch from a server to a private message:

I miss when everyone was on Skype.
I have always hated discord’s interface. Just because something else is worse doesn’t give Discord a free pass.

Doesn’t mean it’s good.
