I don't have Discord and didn't even know it's used for games because I don't play games either.

ltlian21966yThe only reason we went from IRC to discord was for the offline log. I already had this set up for myself with a ZNC, but whatever.
I like how easy it is to find and join active servers, but it blows my mind how long it takes to launch and how much effort it is to customize it. On my vertical screen only 1/3 of the width is used for the main text area.
I see there are some efforts in connecting discord and irc servers but I haven't investigated it much. -
git-gud14186y@ltlian wow, how narrow is your screen? you can hide the memberlist on the right, btw.

ltlian21966y@git-gud I like being able to see who's online, but I don't need the channels column visible. For servers where there's only a handful of channels I end up with a big giant area of nothing.
I know you can customize it with css but then I risk having to maintain it between updates. -
b3b343776yOh and also: I don't use discord, but I ay games. I just prefer easier to use alternatives whose design doesnt look like some smartphone game

@SevenDeadlyBugs it's slightly faster than slack. But both take twice as long as unity blender Photoshop or visual studio to boot up on my machine. Unfortunately I have to have both running for work :( I hate this new era of electron "apps" that leave you with ten instances of a friggin chromium browser when it wouldn't have been much more work to code the damn thing in native

wllcnbeofozbv3-#:(#:wiwjzvfoblaa!!! If someone says "I don't have Discord, I don't play games" once more - I will run them over with a road roller. 90% of servers I am a member of are either for some open source software, open source hardware or some other non-gaming related community so stop with that "But I'm not a gamer" bullshit!
