Nah it just isn't good. Or especially bad. Like I said, Discord is just There. The only reason to use it is because others are already using it. But nothing about the product design jumps out as "good."
As someone who runs a discord community closing in on 7k I can tell you that discord is far easier to manage. More features, built in statistics, good role setups, plenty of bots and a easy API. The open source alternatives are light-years behind unfortunately.
Can you give an example of something especially good in comparison? Examples of things especially bad in comparison include essentially everything I can think of that attempts to address the same niche.
It's just There.
