They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

Discord keeps getting used for things it shouldn't be used for like tech support. I will be glad when it dies. Don't hide your support behind a platform that can't be searched from the web. It's not a replacement for forums and issue trackers.

I couldn't agree more. I hate that some open source projects are using discord for communicating.

I especially hate that it's being used as a login for some things. Goddammit, let me just use my fucking email address.

If a service ever says discord only when I try to login, that service no longer exists. Find an alternative or make do without it.
