I love Discord, there’s no other platform like it that offers what Discord does and it’s been like a trusted little home base for me and friends wether they’re close or from afar so I can’t imagine life without it at this point. However, using it for years on basically a daily basis, makes certain declines more apparent and I wouldn’t be critical about it if I didn’t care.
A lot of bugs and performance issues have been feeling like they’ve increased over the past year. From streams getting screwed over to people getting cut off from calls, the latter has been especially annoying since more often than not I’ve had to either miss out on whole parts of conversations people have been holding to me or have them think that me or other people present in calls haven’t been listening, which is not just a problem on my end because it’s been happening the other way around as well. Joining calls has been quite the drag as well as you either have to alternate between hopping on DM vc or server vc depending on what you wanted to do initially and doesn’t work at the time. All of these are problems that occur both on mobile and PC, additionally on iOS there’s also the notification spam that repeatedly sends you the same single message in the notification center.
As minor as some of these might sound, it has been affecting some interactions a lot, especially with how often it happens as of late which is such a downer. So here’s to hoping that we can see some actual improvement again overtime!
