They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

        If you mean that in some channels only some people can actually “talk”, I think it depends on the configuration of the channel, but it’s a possibility.

        I thought people used Discord because you could have video / audio chats (not sure about this, I’ve used it very sparsely.)

        And then there are Open Source projects that use Discord as the documentation repository. Hell is a place on the Internet, apparently.

          Discord became popular because it’s a more convenient integration of audio chat for gaming, with text chat: no need to set up a server (like TeamSpeak or Mumble).

          People using Discord for official documentation, or bug reporting, are in a circle of hell just slightly below the ones doing the same on Reddit. Community support… they may get a pass.
