if discord launched a business version slack would be gone in a weeks time. not sure why people can't use IRC anyways unless they have ADHD when their screen isnt full of random colours and pictures and cant work without it

gosh, simply cannot agree w/ this take. perhaps I'm a discord luddite, but there's just no way the Average Business User will ever figure out discord. I mean, thread replies in the main conversation by default? Come on.

  > I mean, thread replies in the main conversation by default? Come on. Personally I'm a huge fan of this and I hate Slack's threads, it's where discussion goes to die. If you need to break off then just create a group for the people who need to have input and take it out of the main channels. I use Discord replies almost daily while I avoid Slack's threads like the plague.

    For us and our clients it's the other way around. Slack's threads work, everyone else's threads suck (Teams and Discord included, but Teams is even worse than Discord).

    Isn't the whole point of threads to "create a group for the people who need to have input?"

are you talking about a private IRC server or using a public one?

Discord has a significant malware problem. Threat actors use their CDNs for malware storage and Discord has been very lax in addressing this. A lot of companies don't allow it to be installed and block Discord and its CDNs because of it.

  This is my first time hearing anything like this. Do you have any articles or citations that show this?

I bet Compliance is the #1 thing preventing a corp from adopting IRC.

I really don't think discord has any advantage over slack. I still can't log into multiple discords in the same client (for when I want completely separate use cases). Also the spread of Teams has proved that the product can be... bad... and still used by everyone because its free or bundled with something they pay for.
