     It's suspicious that they chose the name "discord"...
     Matrix is better anyway

     Discord is great!

     For what it was originally designed for…

     Running your WoW guild and organizing your friends so you can play games
     together.

     It’s not Discord’s fault that everyone uses it wrong these days.

     @Jagahati @neanderthalsnavel It's not very good at that either, compared to xmpp or mumble.

     @SirLuke @neanderthalsnavel Ehhhhhhhh
     Matrix and discord are fundamentally different things. Discord is a chat service. Matrix is a synchronisation protocol.

     @neanderthalsnavel @SirLuke (But in terms of communication, matrix is generally more capable, because you won't one day wake up to your account being locked for suspicion of being a bot.)

     I dunno mumble does better voice comms, but for keeping track of rules, schedules, activities, game aids etc, it is probably the best.

     Now granted if all you need is to rageping people to get on voice and log in, then XMPP + Mumble is fine.

     And for large fleets in EVE I wouldn’t use anything other than Mumble. How else am I supposed to have leadership and diplos screaming about what an A-hole I am while I’m calling targets?

     @Jagahati @neanderthalsnavel I think it's pretty simple to put a calender (any of the many standards)/feed link in a channel topic, on xmpp or mumble. ツ
     And then also some link-of-links to whatever external resources, plus some pad that everyone can scrawl on (I'm still wondering when we'll have a standard for that; you could write a janky one right now with some sort of file watcher + some arbitrary sync tool, just need a text editor with an autosave function; but we can do better than this, I think).
     And maybe having all of these in one is a useful thing. Maybe that's the argument for revolt.

     You can do pretty well with voice + Ping (XRC / XMPP) + Craft.do.

     Let’s you keep living docs, control access, sharing etc.

     Not perfect but it works.

     All that said, most people don’t want a 3 program solution, so they use discord, and that’s who discord originally catered to.
