January 23, 20233 yr 6 hours ago, JYW said: I loathe everything about it; the utterly indescribably awful UI, the fact I have to go to my emails and click a link every time I log in. The lack of structure in most Discord pages (eg. a "General" page with 30 different conversations about different things going on at once). The "invite" process, where page owners love to say "come to my discord for support", then you can't find it for love nor money, and discover you need an "Invite" that never seems to arrive........ I could go on, but I'm getting more depressed by the second. Discord works just fine once you take the time to understand how it works. It's up to the owner of the channel to keep his channel organized. That's on the owner not on Discord.

That's on the owner not on Discord. Right there you have hit the nail on the head.......We all value our time differently. Discord requires my phone number??? Tried it several times, disliked it.

January 23, 20233 yr For me Discord is no way to go... Been there, done that, got out, never back.... If an addon is supposed to get support only through Discord, then I'll skip it. Presently I can still access Fenix Support without having to use a Discord account, so it's fine with me the way it is, but the day any addon changes to Discord only, it'll be one less in my setup.

January 23, 20233 yr WT doesn't require a phone number to access their servers on Discord. Seems to be working for them......

The number of add ons using Discord is increasing by the day.

February 2, 20233 yr Well, you may want to reach out to the moderators or administrators of the Discord channel you're trying to join.
March 14, 20233 yr I totally get your frustration with having to give out your phone number for verification. It's definitely a privacy concern for a lot of people.
