Everything? It’s hard to describe, but anytime I want to do anything, it just seems like the menu is in the wrong spot, or I have to jump through hoops to do what needs to get done.
That would be from the 8 redesigns they’ve done in the past year or so. Not going to praise the dumpster fire, but intuitiveness has not been an issue for most of discords common uses. If you were incessantly messing with settings of a server though, that’d track.
Oh, this is day one, I have loaded it up like once in the last year. I’m not the only one who says it either. Back in the day on reddit, I’d post about it and would always have tons of people agree.
I can deal with Gimp and all kinds of alt versions of popular software all day long with minimal hassle learning new UI. Discord, for being the most popular software of its platform, for some reason, just doesn’t click for me. Why ventrillo didn’t keep the crown amazes me.
I’ll just go back to being the old man yelling at the clouds.
I fail to see Discord as anything other than IRC with too many emojis and primary colors for the short of attention span, implemented as a humongous pile of Web 2.0 nonsense, with Big Data surveillance built in.
Privacy and resource comsumption issues notwithstanding, the few times I’ve had to use it to connect with people in certain communities that could basically only be found on Discord, it was unbearable to this gen-Xer: it’s just as fast and as shallow as IRC, but somehow I feel the extra symbolic and color overload would have triggered a seizure if I was epileptic. It’s maddering.
My understanding is that the core appeal is that they provide free private VoIP service, which was something that a lot of people wanted for multiplayer games.
I don’t use that, and like you, I have not been very impressed with their chat stuff.
I’ve never really seen that much color on it, but I use dark mode so its basically just dark gray and white font, we transitioned from slack a few years ago when I joined a community for drone stuff but over time people stopped flying drones and played games more
My experience with Discord, period:
That’s why I use third party apps
Thank God im not the only one. I feel like I’m going crazy when all my friends do nothing but worship discord.
Not at all. I loathe discord with a passion. I can’t understand how such a unintuitive piece of software gained such mainstream acceptance.
What do you find unintuitive? Of all the complaints I personally never found it unintuitive to use.
