What issues did you have with it? Too busy? Overeager mods? Bad organization?
On very busy channels, and this will probably sound weird, but it all just scrolls too fast to have a conversation. It's like being in a room at one corner trying to talk with someone in another corner and the room is filled with other people all trying to have conversations using the same voice level. The only other analogy I could come up with is trying to have a conversation with a race car driver using his or her window mid race, and you just yell at each other every time they pass your corner.
Even when it isn't flying by on a busy channel sometimes it's just endless scrolling to find the beginning of the conversation or where you need to get it to get an idea of what's going on. And their solution to that just made things worse in my opinion...
It has it's purpose, and for my group it's voice and being able to store notes that we can scroll back through if we need.
That makes sense.
I'm certainly of the camp that it's bad for developers to use to coordinate with their communities via discord in part because it's terrible for documentation/disorganized.
Guess I've just never given super big discord channels the time of day since they seem about as productive as a major twitch streamer's chat. Like you said, a bit like screaming into an avalanche, everything is lost to the noise.
I like that, and might use that in the future.
Since you mentioned developers using it to coordinate with their community, I also have seen a pattern where the channel owner invites people to come chat with them and the other people involved. Then when someone invariably pings someone on the team they get scolded for it. Pick one, availability to the people you invited, or stay private. Can't have both.
