To some extent Discord servers have replaced forums and now you have to try to search through a chat room’s history to find out info instead of using a forum. Seems like a pretty big downgrade.
I agree, even if it is much more active and has quite good ways to catch up on past conversation, the notifications and various icons and unusable emoticons make it feel bloated.
You can mute servers or chat channels inside servers. People like it because it is nice looking, has all their favourite emojis and gif memes. And decent voice chat.
