I use Discord with friends for a weekly online D&D game in what’s basically a glorified conference calls. It’s fine for that use-case, but it fucking sucks for trying to do anything organized or having on-topic conversations or looking up any sort of stored information. I kind of hate it when game companies have shit on there and you have to search/sort through hundreds of unconnected chat snippets to find answers to questions.
Basically how I use Discord as well,. My favourite feature of Discord is when I get an “@everyone” ping from big servers and I click into the notification and the message disappeared into the void without fail.
I’ve developed the muscle memory of immediately disabling notifications for any new server I join.
That is extremely annoying. Hate it when it happens.
