i really cant tell if this is an unpopular opinion or not in current day, but i really have grown to not like discord. (the app, not the mlp char. i love that discord :3)
i used to really like discord in 2017 to 2021 ish, offering more than skype or anything else did at the time, but recently it feels like 90% of the stuff discord adds now just make the experience worse and more cluttered/messy, just being an attempt to get you to buy nitro. all this stuff can also be kind of be a performance killer, especially on their new (ish... not really new anymore.) mobile app. it all feels unnecessary, especially for a chatting app. its like they dont know what to add anymore. im not trying to play a weird half video game or use a social media when i open discord, im just trying to use a chatting app so i can talk to my friends. somehow discord in its current state has managed to make me want less features for a cleaner experience
im also not super big on the sort of culture surrounding alot of discord servers, which makes it impossible to actually start talking if youre new there, but thats starting to get slightly off topic, so i wont post about that here x3
(also yes, i have already "just moved to a different app", ive already moved to telegram. i still have to use discord though since most my friends seem to be set on continuing to use that still. so rip ;-;)
