People act like the alternatives are any better but they really aren't. Sure don't get me wrong it sucks that you typically have to scroll through useless info to find what you're looking for, but I put that on the server owner, you see the same issue on most forums too. Discord brings huge audiences that you wouldn't normally see in small communities. It's free, easy to setup and access, has a mobile app with toggle-notifications(and maybe just my settings but I've never gotten an ad notification or anything I haven't purposely toggled). People here are acting like you have to start using it as your primary messaging app and that you can't just take your messaging to another platform if your worried about chat logs.
There's zero way dishes would become so popular if users didn't like it.
The fact that it has chat, voice, streaming, automation, accessible api and oauth.
I mean please, these foss people can downvote all they want, but it's a good application for communities.
