Review Discord?

Reviewers mostly see Discord as a strong all-purpose communication hub: voice, video, text, screen sharing, roles, bots, and server organization make it useful for gaming, study groups, customer communities, and even remote teams. Several founders say their products’ makers use it because threads, APIs, and community depth fit support and integrations well. The main complaints are consistent too: the app can feel heavy or laggy, the interface and notifications can get messy, and support, account recovery, scams, and moderation are recurring sore points.

Honestly it came down to three things. The user base is massive and growing. The API lets us build real, powerful integrations without hacking around limitations. And the community management needs on Discord are genuinely complex enough that a CLI tool adds serious value. On simpler platforms there wouldn't be enough depth to justify what we're building.

As a gamer myself, I find Discord to be a great way to keep in touch with my friends and have fun together. It's also an excellent tool for building a community.

Audio channels paired with cloud remote workstations made for an experience snappier and closer than any open office ever did. We could see our colleagues were busy, we could join at any time with basically no friction. When things needed to happen they simply did, no friction, no calls, no bureaucracy. While it might sound like a toy it makes from a tremendous tool for remote development teams.

While the platform is great, the support is absolutely abysmal. If your account or email address is compromised, they will absolutely not assist you and you're better off just creating an entirely new account with them. Or just using Slack, at least they will bother verifying that you own the account rather than telling you "I'm sorry to hear that your account got compromised! As much as I would love to help you out, we're only able to discuss account details with the email address associated with that Discord account." While they continue to assist that account with changing their password and enabling them to scam others on the daily; Even reaching out to support in a totally different language at this point. It's totally unreal how inept the support of this company is.

Easy to use with an intuitive UI. Love joining game specific communities and chatting with fellow enthusiasts. Custom emojis for each game are cute and add value. Haven't tried Nitro yet (paid service) but strongly considering it.

Really high-quality video and cool custom emotes. Their paywall is done well and doesn't cut you off from necessary tools in the freemium version. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with how many channels and chats I have and wish there was a better way to further customize folders and bookmark posts.

Discord is objectively better than Slack. It's a shame more people don't adopt it for work/business.

I use discord every day. Stable app, amazing features, and you get so much content for free, what more could you ask for? And their Nitro features is just a great way for us to give back for the amazing app.

Discord is an amazing place to hang out. However, I believe that there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of support. There are quite a few scams on the platform and the support could be a bit more transparent. Otherwise, I like to use the platform, I can only recommend it.
