It's actually a pretty cool service. Private chat is easier to set up and you can have it open in multiple tabs, unlike chatango which just makes one private chat screw up. Channels are actually useful. You can make the UI black or white. You can edit posts. The backlog is easier to view. And most importantly, it doesn't crash all the damn time.
why don't we all use discord yet

The population of Discord involves members that make pleasant interaction challenging.

Do you mean the users who don't also frequent this subforum? Because they don't show up in our chat.

My experience of the exact opposite every time I've logged on Discord disagrees with your assertion.

Sorry, I wasn't listening...
Every time I go on discord it seems rather dead. Then again, I probably just don't go on enough. I'll try to frequent it more often.
I've literally never seen a non-IOTer on Discord.

That's not Crezth's point and you know it.
What she is saying is that the people who are pushing for Discord the loudest, are the people that tend to be the ones Crezth (and other people who refused to move like me) would rather not interact with in the first place*. So to us, we don't really see a huge incentive to move over to discord, when we actually much prefer the crowd that is still on chatango.

Discord is pretty good, although honestly there are some things that are objectively superior about Chatango (quotation, landscape for phones, automatic ping noises). Honestly I'm fine with the way things are, it's a little annoying but I doubt we're going to get one side to abandon one of the chats.

I'm not even talking about cliques. I'm talking how on Discord there's no policing of the content at all so communists are free to spam garbage and I have to click through 19 different chatrooms to find out where people who like free minds and free markets are at. I simply do not want to inhabit that environment. Say what you will about Chatango but there's no communism and no spam.

What do you mean with this? I downloaded a chatango app for my phone, and it was almost useless due to only seeing 1-2 messages at a time from the chatroom...

I just prefer IRC chat really.............
You know you can block that, right?

Yeah we should definitely block spammers instead of banning them, and tell new people who join the chat to "just block them!" That way the mods don't have to accept responsibility for policing the chatroom. Thank god there are 190452158091295 staff members on every chatroom because otherwise there'd be lots of spam. "Just block them." Come on.
