I don’t mind offensive or off-color jokes.

But here’s the thing: the more offensive and off-color, the better the joke had better be to be worth the offense.

This is not a good joke. You’re just being offensive.

I fail to see Discord as anything other than IRC with too many emojis and primary colors for the short of attention span, implemented as a humongous pile of Web 2.0 nonsense, with Big Data surveillance built in.

Privacy and resource comsumption issues notwithstanding, the few times I’ve had to use it to connect with people in certain communities that could basically only be found on Discord, it was unbearable to this gen-Xer: it’s just as fast and as shallow as IRC, but somehow I feel the extra symbolic and color overload would have triggered a seizure if I was epileptic. It’s maddering.

Oh well, maybe I’m old.

When you use the Discord app, you use a browser - Chromium specifically: Discord is an electro app.

In other word, if you already run a browser that burns hundreds of megabytes of RAM, disk, and requires tons of CPU do display simplistic things, as browsers do, you might as well use it to access Discord instead of running a second insanely wasteful browser disguised as a native app.

My experience with Discord, period:
