@gamingonlinux Strongly agree. Unfortunately people are lazy, so until there is an open alternative with similar functionality and as easy to set up as Discord, people will continue doing just that.

@doragasu @gamingonlinux Discord is just a replacement for IRC, *if* one really must

@sverx @gamingonlinux It's a weird mix of IRC + voice chat/conferencing with a tiny bit of the good old discussion forums. I find most people use it for things that would fit so much better on discussion forums, because what you put on discord will be lost forever after a week. But as I wrote, people is lazy.

@sverx @gamingonlinux And that's a real problem, because there is a lot of interesting people and stuff that you can only talk to using either that or Twitter...

That One Average 成

@doragasu @gamingonlinux This is indeed the solution.

Which is probably why it won't happen, at least until someone with enough talent, design sense, and (mostly) money makes the next thing that'll get big. And the cycle repeats ad nauseum. :)

Or free forum hosting becomes popular, but that probably isn't happening.
