Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing
US group has sought to broaden its appeal to a mass audience

Discord was great for chatting with friends during games.
It was shit for everything else, so hopefully this move kills it off and we can stop having to join a discord to find information on topics in temporary chat logs.
I really detest people abusing Discord like an unsearchable wiki with dozens of (locked) channels filled with sticky posts.
I have no idea how someone could use it for that.
The amount of people who spam messages in the boards is absolutely fucking insane. They'll do that thing where they make it seem like they're taking pauses or whatever when they're putting breaks. Example:
Did you guys know?
That when you need to refill your characters ammo
You can reload by pressing R?
And other shit like that, but way worse and even shorter messages each time. I only use discord to keep up to date with early access games, or some communities that I'm a part of (YouTubers, and multiplayer communities like Project Zomboid servers). My job also uses discord to communicate (we're a small company but with people around the country).
You've renewed my idea for setting up a Discord server that literally bans zero-effort Twitch style chat messages. Each time someone hits enter, they must be conveying a human thought. Exceptions provided for reactions, which are a specific feature, but that's it.
I mean you can enable "slow mode" in certain channels which puts you on a timer after sending a message. I think it's configurable too.
