>HN's knee jerk reaction when it comes to certain topics is becoming quite exhausting

Yep you can guess comments all the time just by the title alone. There are certain topics that triggeres a lot of people here and no matter what the actual submission is about (they won't read the article either way) they just post their preoccupied comment. I mean when someone makes a throwaway "discordsucks" to comment that says it all.

Honestly, my comment was pretty balanced imho. Discord does provide great UX for what it is good at. That is gaming communities and day to day chatter and such. I even think it has a huge lead in that regard other than maybe being a bit slow on weaker hardware - probably cause electron. It just has inacceptable entry barriers for documentation purposes by collecting your data and severe limits on how much content can be accessed and more importantly retained. I spare you to repeat myself on why I think so. Especially open source projects shouldnt make it a requierement to hand over your data to a entity which has recently been fined for GDPR violations in order to use them.
