One of Reddit’s biggest communities is suggesting users move to Discord

I like the continued migrations from Reddit but Discord doesn’t seem like the best destination

Discord isn't a good alternative, it's not the same type of social media site. Discord is more of a chatroom aggregator, while Reddit is more of a forum aggregator. While Reddit technically supports chats and Discord technically supports threads, in both cases they're clunky and not the main point of the site.

Discord is such a terrible platform for large scale communication.

Nothing pisses me off more than looking for a support link and being told you have to go to a discord. It’s terrible to search, generally requires a bunch of hoops to jump through verifying you’re not a bot and almost never has the info you’re looking for anyways.

Plus Discord is a shitty company removing features from paid users (custom tags) and forcing changes to be more like Twitter.

It's /r/malefashionadvice.

That's like getting kicked out of the home you grew up with to moving in permanently at a hotel, instead of getting your own home...

What the fuck is wrong with those people and their fetish with Discord? It's not a forum, it's a fucking chat platform where you have to pay for fucking emojis!

Discord is a black hole of information. Unindexable, unscrapable, borderline unsearchable.

This is how social media sites die. Not with big protests, but people and communities quietly moving away. Reddit won’t die at once in an explosion; it will be a slow, quiet process. Same with Twitter.

Discord even with forums category is not meant for discover new content and search.

Discord? Yuck.

F discord. cancer of the internet. it is even worse than everything facebook or whatever. also gatekeeping content behind a software of a very shady company + forcing phone number for registration are just so many "no go"

Not a user of that sub, but I can't wait for crazy, anime avatar weirdos to start dunking on people, every disco server has em lol

I don't think discord is the way forward. Lemmy on web is awesome but the app on mobile needs a lot of work to be remotely good.

They went to substack for their wiki/guides content and discord for everything else. Different. Maybe it'll fit their social model better than a forum kind of place. I prefer my local mechanical keyboard discord over the much bigger subreddit.

Good to see that r/accidentalRenaissance is moving to kbin/lemmy. Also seems like a good fit for them here.

Someone tell these hot boys about lemmy

Trading one master for another, I see.

Why not Lemmy instead?

That’s a big one. Good for them but I do hope they find their way to a federated instance eventually.

eh why not lemmy 🙂

Why one silo to a worse one

I get that discord sucks but it works for them, who cares? Those verge comments, woo boy.
