    Maybe it was ads from the game, IDK… cuz I think we were on their server.

    I’m just used to chat rooms being more IRC like, that’s all… this thing is supposed to be more advanced, but it was just more confusing for me.

    Yeah, that part was confusing to me… like how can I create a “server” on their server 🤨… we’re all basically on the same server, just in a different “virtual server” 🤔 🤷… IDK, it never made sense to me, cuz creating a server means something completely different in my mind, not just “right click --> new server”.

    Maybe I’m just old, IDK. In the end, we switched to Viber, one chat, simple, elegant, everyone had it instaled, end of story.

    Within each server, there’s a list of text and voice channels (and now forum channels) to talk about different things.

    Yeah, this was also confusing. I mean… come on, I’m not creating a freaking community here, we’re just discussing some shit from the game and having some fun from time to time, sharing memes and jokes, stuff like that, nothing serious, like that chat will be dead in a year (everyone migrates to another state in the end in the game), so why bother building this giant community, when everything will die down in a year or so anyway.

    Just way too complex for the thing we needed. Basic chat features, image/video sharing, that was all that was needed… servers, channels, communities… just way too much noise and clutter. I can understand the appeal for people that game 24/7, but I don’t so, digging into this, just so that i can write “get to x:y coords and destroy this fucker” or share a screenshot… I mean… it just wasn’t worth my time.

      Yeah, Discord servers are really meant for communities more than for being a group chat (although you can make group chats with up to ten people). Totally fair if multiple channels and stuff are more than you need.
