Signal / WhatsApp are messengers, they’re meant for 1 to 1 or small groups. They don’t handle large groups well, for which you want things like rooms, roles, moderation, etc. Different niches.
Yeah I get the downside of those. But I find it weird how so many people blast discord when it’s just about the only option for simple modern text based chat groups
I agree. I just think the reason it doesn’t is because it doesn’t need to exist. Seriously, 100% of its usecases are better served by something else.
Um. As a simple place for a group to chat and communicate via text?
Is it better than Signal/WhatsApp for that?

Ah, so large groups specifically? Fair enough
Yeah, I run a hobby club with like 200 members in discord. Handling that in WhatsApp or signal would be such a pain.
Discord’s great for that. But so many games and software are using it instead of forums or proper issue trackers now. It’s a pretty serious downgrade.
