I seriously doubt that

which has mostly been abused and never used properly

Discord got popular because it's a really good platform

what competitor gets even close?

Skype sure as hell doesn't

nah, Discord got popular because there's no censorship

proof?

loli

there

>really good

I'd say just better than most mainstream social media

you said i couldn't post it

I could post whatever I wanted here and Discord would only take action if someone reported it

korean loli should be keki

most of the servers that Discord nuked weren't even violating any ToS rules

@Crow how new are you to Discord?

couple of years, no idea tbh

no taka in this server 😭

I joined in the really early days as me and my friends got tired of Skype consistently making every update less stable, less user-friendly and more annoying, then we didn't really use it for a couple of years, and then I started using it "for real" a few years back

it sure didn't get popular because of the voice chat quality

which was shit on the early days

the great thing about Discord is that there's no censorship. Even if you wanted to discuss controvertial stuff

better than steam and at least on par with Skype was our experience, but that's really highly anecdotal

noone would stop you from creating a server and inviting who you wanted to

but can you prove that is a priority for the majority of Discord users?

there's no admins reading stuff

I would say so

for the longest time they branded themselves as a client for Gamers

still do, to an extent

all youtubers have discord servers now

i don't censor on my discord at all

most aren't even gamers

everything goes

I have no responsibility for what people post.

bingo

Discord can't hold me liable for it.

your anecdotes don't count for much tbh

If they complain, I'll say I didn't see it.

can you or can you not prove what you're claiming in regards to why Discord became popular?

it goes the other way around m8

I gave you all the reasons why it is probable. Feel free you prove me otherwise

or at least point to a different direction
