    I hated back in 2015 when people were leaving other communication platforms for the lesser option of Discord

    Even today Discord still doesn’t have directional chat and you can’t be in multiple calls at once

    At least mods help mask all the other missing features

      I left mumble, teamspeak, and Skype for Discord.

      Discord is easily the better options among those choices.

      I also can’t think of much use for being in more than one call at once. I dunno seems like you’re just looking for a different thing. And that’s okay.

      Discord didn’t, and still doesn’t, require a download. Easier for people to pick up and easier to use on locked down computers.

        This. Whatever can be used on devices without admin rights, such as work or school devices, for “free”, will get picked up by normie worker drones and college students and minors in droves.

        It’s been pretty handy in a lot of ways, but yeah I do hate what it’s doing to indexable information and it’s only a matter of time before it goes for IPO and suddenly gets way worse seemingly overnight…

      I’m unfamiliar with Directional Chat outside of things like VRchat, how that work if you’re not manipulating your position in space relative to other users?
