A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Discord is weirdly popular recently, I found out multiple of my co-workers use discord and I did a doubletake it just felt weird
I think the general UI looking nice and modern has a weirdly high impact on people adopting it, because lord knows the actually interfacing of servers and channels is bizarre and takes a while to pick up
I literally had to have a coworker give me an invite to a server to test it out and figure out how the heck it worked. It was less obvious (or at the time felt way more gatekeepery) than Lemmy or Mastodon to me. You need an invite?
Then I found some subreddits had Discord servers, and open invites. Now... IDK. I don't think it's at all like reddit though - it's like IRC with pictures.
I always think that Discord has a huge potential to replace both Reddit and Twitch if they wanted too.
To bad discord isn't index-able.
I'm sure all of the alphabet intelligence agencies are making Discord indexable now for themselves after the major leak a few months ago.
