Using Discord During the Day?
One of my coworkers recently told me about Discord. Looks like a platform that has a bunch of rooms with thousands of random people in chats - usually gamers I believe. I am not really able follow the stream of conversations from any of these rooms as there are hundreds or thousands of people typing random stuff constantly.
It honestly seems quite depressing in rooms where there are so many people typing at once in these. One of my coworkers spends all day in these group chats messaging random stuff when working from home and even added me to the one they most enjoy talking in. I’m not sure why they spend so much time on these chat rooms
Is there some appeal to these chat rooms that I’m not understanding or aware of?
Doesn’t read like a shitpost, think OP is just wondering what the point of these mega group chats are if it’s just a huge spam chat. Have seen some of these myself and was wondering the same thing
I have joined a few of these rooms before. It seems like a place with thousands of gamers talk into some chat, but it doesn’t mean much when there are 15 people sending a message every second. Everyone’s voices and opinions get diluted out by other people’s messages
My guess is that it’s more of an outlet where people can go and feel like they’re part of a conversation if lonely, but unsure.
I can’t imagine why anyone would want to spend that much time in a chat room .. how do they have time to use discord during work hours anyways?
That’s kind of odd .. how are they able to spend this much time on a gaming chat?
Could be enthusiasm for gaming or just loneliness. Some people have different ways to cope with boredom or emptiness and large gaming chats like discord could be a way for some people to either voice their opinions, frustrations or feel like they belong to a community.
Some discords are huge with 100s of thousands of users but most just have a few thousand if that with maybe a couple hundred monthly active users. Which makes it much more meaningful.
Often people are in servers with their friends or around a common topic. It's basically just like a live chat version of reddit. E.g. there are big discords for financial careers, CFA, accounting, consulting, finance recruiting (and yeah people actually use them).
Many discords are used for courses too. So all the FX, dropshipping, ghostwriting, ecommerce, reselling or whatever guys run paid discord groups for their content/tips or whatever.
Discord is similar to the chat rooms that were popular back in the day (AOL, Yahoo, etc), meaning 1990s to the early 2000s. Same concept, which were wildly popular at the time.
Discord is simply a platform for these private chat groups, which tends to be the main (only?) chat platform nowadays.
You'll find some growing discussion about Discord due to the IPO situation.
Note: You'll want to be cautious about using Discord during the workday, as it might raise Compliance concerns. While your chat conversation might be entirely unrelated, there have been cases where some have come under scrutiny, due to concerns over what might be discussed. It could be nothing, or it could be something, but just be cautious not to run into any problematic scenarios, without realizing it.
