Man, every time I've used Discord it has been an aggressively unpleasant experience. How is this platform so popular?
@pganssle Based on my experience with my beer league hockey team: It works better than SMS for videos and it works on both Apple and Android. So someone says let's move there and most of the team does. And the one guy who holds his ground gets left out. Which is considered fine by the rest of the team because nobody has a better idea.
@lucifargundam @pganssle yup. In many cases it would be bad. For our beer league team it is just transient messages. Locker room numbers etc. So none of us would blink if we had to start fresh. I wish I had had a good alternative to suggest when they set it up. I didn't then and still don't now. I would have been fine staying on sms.
@poleguy @lucifargundam All messaging apps these days are pretty bad in most ways. I think Matrix is probably best because it is a protocol with a few implementations. Signal is also miles better than "SMS Group Chat", even if Signal leaves a lot to be desired as a platform.
