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.
As a Discord user, I don’t hate it but ever since lockdown, I’m getting up of many the larger communities are on Discord. It’s really frustrating when the community in question would be whatever product and only way contact custom service is through there and not email (Looking at you, PixelFX) and open-source project where only way to contract devs or ask for help is through Discord as the search engine on Discord is terrible.
The only reason why I still on Discord despite my annoyance with that chat app is that most people are on there instead of places like Matrix, XMPP or IRC. The three I mention tend to have more a techy-nerd userbase which nothing wrong with that but it hard finding as much niches compare to Discord
