Good.
Discord sucks at such a fundamental level that the lack of any competing apps for this particularly awful niche actually restores some of my faith in humanity.
Okay you're just trolling.
Have you seen Discord's UI?
This is my genuine opinion and I don't appreciate the condescension.
You don't have to like it, but trying to dismiss it as mere trolling is, at best, intellectually dishonest.
pretty certain their just confused why someone would say there's not a niche for a chat client. chat clients always have, and always will exist.
There are lots of chat clients.
Fortunately, only Discord is also trying to be a for-profit walled garden, a support forum, an in-game voice chat app, a community hub, a media channel, a political soapbox, a video game store, a livestreaming service, a bot playground, and now, apparently, a pirate fileshare.
