(Can't come at me and blurr with the whole "Oh you hate discord" thing for a lot of reasons, including, i only DISLIKE, and that's towards the wikia discord) Personally, i can see a lot of useless stuff going on there, specially for what it is. A lot of features just feel useless (Sightly points to sound and voice channel (unless you're using it to play a competitive game that for some reason has no mic support)) or redundant (Pinging everyone is easily exploitable even if you have like the fastest man in the world moderating for you, also not really required) or simply really not that much needed.

The only Discord(s) i'm at are mostly joke servers between friends, so i've saw a bit of the customization so far, not really impressive OR needed. It seems to be Discord's slogan. Impressively unneeded.

For just chatting, specially with a low ammount of friends (ex: talk with your best friend) i think something simple would be best, so there's this huge tie between Steam Chat and Hamachi Chat.

Those offer minimal uselessness (Hamachi has less emotes n stuff but hey you're there for chat) and more usefulness at the same time. Hamachi will let you do stuff like servers for specific games (Like 0ad) and Steam will let you buy, play, trade or stream games. Kind of a big deal, you're wasting less resources for more.

I understand the fact you're on your browser most of the time to use Discord (exceptions like mobile and the app and people using the software on pc) and you can also do a lot of things there, but really, the processes you'll cause (as in, memory you'll "spend") is going to be higher the more "usefulness" you put on your browser tabs, making it kinda nullify itself with it's own lag.

Discord lags a LOT here, i don't care if you're using some beautiful software you like calling an app, if you're using the "classic" browser link, you're gonna see how much it lags compared to another already kinda laggy chat, the Lawn.

So, in the end of the day, for purely chatting (and having some small bonuses) i would rather Steam Chat/Hamachi Chat.

There, now ya'll can stop with thinking i want to kill the guy that did Discord or something, i want the CHANNEL FOR THIS WIKIA to die
