Is that the social network that promises to share profits with their users?

How is it free? Is it full of ads and NSA front-doors?

Nah its got NSA sun lights.
For some reason, this shit blew up hard overnight a few months ago. No idea why. Tons of shilling fucking everywhere. I don't like it. I usually don't give a shit about closed-source/open-source but when it comes to communication, I want to be sure that there's no middleman.
Mumble is better in every way. You can host your own server for tons of people, on your own computer, if you have a high-end machine and a good internet, I.E don't live in fucking India.

Discord is much closer to skype than mumble.
>>52167275
Its ok, just not enough of people I know use it unfortunately so I have very little use for it

Mumble is confusing for people who are not very good with computers.
They took the best parts of IRC (different privilege classes, different rooms, private messges) and Skype (friends list, voice or text chat) and combined it with tinychat (no login required, ease of creating rooms, ease of linking rooms, fully web based)
Discord is alright. Better than Skype.
For a voice chat room, Mumble is better.
For an IRC type experience tied to voice, Discord is better.
I personally have connected a lot with a particular Discord community so I'm sucked into it. Its pretty much the only messaging/voice application I use now.
Overall its okay.
Purely off of using the software, there are very few downsides to Discord outside of the devs being memefags.
It works incredibly well in most ways.
From the side of privacy, I don't believe its very safe.
Not a fan of the meme-heavy UI but it's a solid application overall, as far as I've tested it.
Now if only I had friends to use it with.

I use Discord a ridiculous amount at this point.
Its the only application I have open 100% of the time.
If you're on linux, avoid it until they build the application for it. The browser app sucks.
On mobile it works okay but its glitchy.
On Windows, its a great application if you have a use for it. I happen to.
>>52168158
No.

do it fgt
>>52168158
/g/ already has numerous IRCs.
No reason for this particular community to transition to something that has shit linux support.
>>52168195
your mom has shit linux support.
>>52168195
the /g/ ircs are cancerous
