Discord has forums now.
Yeah, but it's still Discord. They're jumping from one platform run by a dodgy corporation to another.
Not to mention the walled garden, phone verification only bs of discord.
Oh interesting. What’s Discord’s gameplan? Same as the rest? Capture a bunch of users then go full corporate fuck the users strategy? The ol “try this amazing free thing! Contribute content with your friends!……” “thx now pay us to access all the content you freely contributed. Kthx bye. Also we are selling all your data. Kthx.”
I have no idea. I didn't even know they had these until people were suggesting we move to discord from Reddit a couple months ago.
I use discord the same as you. Hop in a voice chat with friends and then close discord. I've never used it for anything other than a bloated ass voice chat client lol
Edit: didn't realize you were a different person. I use discord the same as the other guy I replied to.
How do they work? I only use it to chat it up with the boys on game night.
Similar to any forum. Server admin can make sub forums, and users can post in them.
