discord isn't really a messenger- it's more like a modern implementation of chat rooms.

@digitalutopia1 2 года назад

@@tariq4259 because Skype is a messenger. Discord is not. A messenger is an application focused on direct communication between two people. While such apps usually do support "group" messaging, it's just expanding on that same messaging between two people. Other apps may include some form of messaging or mail between two people, but it's not its primary focus. Discord, for example, is focused on individual servers, with dozens of people chatting amongst themselves across multiple rooms - as I said, it's the modern equivalent of chat rooms, like Yahoo Chat.

@digitalutopia1 2 года назад

@@Q-TebGamesNL Group chats are not the same thing as chat rooms/servers. The former works exactly like a direct message, but with more than two people, where individuals have to be manually added, a room/server is a virtual space where any number of people can enter or leave, plus there are room/server based features and controls. in a group message, you can't do anything different than you could in a 1v1 message, beyond basic management like removing someone from a group. Just because you haven't experienced or used such features in a Discord server, or just because a messenger group fits your groups specific needs, doesn't mean the differences aren't there. I mean, if you drive a pickup truck and never haul or carry anything, it doesn't make it a car.

@Q-TebGamesNL 2 года назад

@@digitalutopia1 you do know that you can't get into a discord server if you're not invited (manually added) / don't have a permalink right?

@digitalutopia1 2 года назад

@@Q-TebGamesNL A link is all you need - that's not exactly an invite. Anyone in the server can get that link and post it anywhere, and all the people who see that link can copy and paste it anywhere as well. Sure, you can have the server set up to not let people see the content of certain rooms, or not be able to chat until they're verified, bur you actually have to set those options. By default anyone with a link can find the server and chat.

I remember the ol' MSN days. You had to be online so had to be there to chat. When Facebook messenger came out, you didnt have to be, this caused the demise of MSN even when MSN included the "offline" message feature. Now that you didnt have to be "online" to receive messages, many people fell out of contact as some people just didnt bother to reply to people. It wasnt the start of ghosting (texts were a thing long before this) but it certainly popularised it.

In Spain, about 2010, the golden era of social networks (actually social) , "tuenti" became the main one of young people. Over time it included wall posting, photo sharing, video games partying, and at some point, a real life chat. The design was simple yet delightful, and the community was amazing. No one shared posts of celebrities or professional information brands. All the content was dorky authentic pieces of life people you cared about shared. And adding a friend was so exciting, doing so meant you two actually intended to speak with each other.

@lev2727 9 месяцев назад

ICQ gave me the best internet experience ever, I met so many great people online from all over the world. Suddenly there were no borders, and everyone felt equal. We talked about life, shared out stories, we joked, and at times we flirted. In 1998 I started to talk with a young woman online, 6000km away from me.... 25 years later I'm still married to her.

I was a yahoo messenger kid. Had a blast on there role playing, leaving a room and going to a new room, chilling with those people and then getting a private room, get enough people and start a chain that automatically invites all the people from the new room to the old room, bam, you had over 200 people in the old room and its like a party. Some people would do this just to ruin a chat room but some people were doing it to bring everyone together ❤
