I was like OP. I fucking hate discord.

But then, this little indie game in early access had a bug, but I couldnt find where to email them. So reluctantly, I joined shitty ass discord, sent the dev a screenshot, and within like 15 minutes, the dev was able to figure out the fix.

I stuck around and saw more threads. Updates, future fixes, other people doing speed runs, even a place people were making fan art.

And that's when he realized Discord isnt so shitty, because that solo dev now has all this conversation and people motivating them.

    Yep, it's a practical choice that improves the quality of their work and their community engagement by promoting rapid feedback cycles.

    BTW how'd you stumble upon the Indi game?

    The thing that I suck at the most is advertised out what I'm making, and it's hurt me, a lot....
