I was avoiding Discord as well because they messed up my account in a
way that could not be fixed without creating a new email address
(which is something _I_ refuse to do). I finally got around it by
coming in on the Mac app instead of a browser. Apparently their
browser support is pretty broken.
The (multi-platform) app is a web browser because it's based on
Electron, but no filtering extensions can be installed, so I suspect
it's worse than using a browser.
Discord is asking for a phone number, either mine or some other... From
a company who have an extremely low score for privacy, this requirement
is alarming: https://xgqt.gitlab.io/spywarewatchdog/articles/discord.html
The fact that there's warnings about Discord (even if many are dated),
that the company changed its image, than hundreds of millions of people
are using it for everything (millions simultaneously), that its market
value is doubling each year, is not reassuring.
I vote for email! The only downside I see is the accumulating
indented copies of prior emails in the thread. However, if all clients
can organize threads by subject like gmail does, we can stop including
those in our replies.
I first vote for not using Discord, ever again, because I'm trying to
avoid GAFAM (and the likes). Then I vote for emails (my Thunderbird
email client is also organizing threads by subjects); they are less
distracting than online chat activity, but I may miss important
information as chatting is becoming the favored communication method. I
admit: I'm old (3% of Discord users have my age), so please excuse my
rant. Anyway, if a better (or less bad) platform than Discord (or even
Slack) is used, please send the info to the list.
