What the fuck is their deal?
Discord is different than the message board style we have here. Some people might just prefer that. Live chat can be pretty nice
Anyone who prefers IRC-style internet chat to forum-style internet chat clearly doesn’t have enough social anxiety to be on the internet in the first place.
This is an opinion I have held since the 90s and I won’t be changing my mind any time soon.
I grew up using mIRC in the early 2000s. It was the foundation of my early internet experiences. I’m pretty used to chat-esque applications because of that I think. And yes, I do have social anxiety.
