Use Discord for nothing... Whenever I try Discord, I never return to any of the channels I'm in. It doesn't feel like a community or anything I can refer back to. Normally, rooms are silent, and no one is chatting. The UI as a whole is a jumbled mess that feels bloated. I would take a forum message board any day.
Hard disagree. Discord is great place for non-tehnical-project communities
"Normally, rooms are silent, and no one is chatting"
Yeah, cause you went to unactive servers. It would be like coming to Hackernews, opening first link in newly submitted, and complaining that no one is here.
Just go to active servers. Servers I frequent are very active.

Another hard disagree. UI is one of my favourite things about Discord. It feels very well designed and it even works very well on mobile. I'm quite impressed by this aspect
