why i will never use discord ever again
2026-02-20 10:42:47
Discord is and was a corporate company ever since it's foundation, it's mentions of there not being good ways of playing games and chatting with friends at the same time was a gigantic lie that boosted their reputation as "best serviz" alongside their funny initiative of getting people onto their service

Now they suck more because for one, it will force ID verification on people, so don't you be fucking faking that ID's or using a real ID which is invalid by international law and for two, they have the worst support ever, and third, which is my final reason, is that it's the largest black hole of information to ever exist

Like seriously, if Discord shuts down, hundreds of millions of messages that could be technical fixes, guides, videos, etc. will be lost because you trusted it to put everything on there

I wouldn't be sad about it, honestly.

unfortunately i cannot give a proper answer tot hat, i think steam is a great service, yeah, it comes with some caveats, but the drm ultimately falls down to the people who make games



i doubt most game companies wanan do anything related to old machines, giving the fact valve officially ended support for windows xp, vista, 7 and the 8.x family, so i doubt that developers would try to get games to work with old machines

isn't this same goes to Steam? i mean... their games are DRM-based, most of time, if you are trying to play their old games on a old machine (like hl2, or cs:s) you would need to install Steam to play on it

discord will soon be an advertisment and cash grabbing place since it got a new ceo who has been known to do these things

Absolutely agree. I don't think Xfire is a full blown replacement, but still fun to use. I really hate how so many things that would have been entire sites or forums are now just Discord servers. I HATE when a company asks to join their Discord just for basic instructions on how to install something.
