I spent years, but I didn’t find any interesting acquaintances, and I came across such people that I thought I was in the Stone Age, I seemed to be dumb by 25 percent at least when I communicated in discord or I was terribly bored, it’s difficult to explain, but that’s about how I can describe my experience.
I pretty much just use it because my friends use it. Voice chat, screen sharing, and text chat are all generally really good (though I’m not a member of any massive servers which I imagine would make the text chat a lot worse). If my friends swapped to something else, I’d go with them and never use Discord again.
It looks okay, but the actual UX isn’t very good. Simple things like DMing a friend, or making/accepting a friend request are way more arcane than they should be.
I guess I can’t really blame Discord itself, but I hate that it killed forums. Its lack of searchability makes it almost completely useless at doing what forums used to do, but almost everybody migrated anyway.
