Is it the friendly user-interface?
The non-corporate artwork on curated pages?
The community-vs-company-based branding?
What about any of that is embarrassing or childish? That it's not specifically designed for corporate drudgery hell?
Yea, pretty much, well put.
Being embarrassed by it seems childish. Who are you trying to impress?
Especially since it’s almost literally Slack except purple. The design and feature set are the same.
And the giant "Nitro!" banners with blob melting faces and the rest. I don't know I uninstalled it after I made the mistake of installing it at work.
I feel like it's rather silly to be so concerned over something as trivial as that, like being worried over what other people think if you have a hello kitty bag. Life is entirely too short to be bothered by inconsequential external perception.
In what way is Discord childish?
Nitro banners, blobs, public servers with bowling balls etc.
If you're just in a discussion it's fine but click the wrong place and it's like a teenage dream exploded.
