I work for MS and literally every MS employee hates Teams. I would cut off my tongue before I recommend it to a friend.
The problem with Discord isn’t the program, it’s the fact that we have a million different servers now. People just don’t like having to go to a new server for every different conversation, but that’s the way they all chose to use it so it’s their own fault.
Teams is truly awful. The fact that I have seen it maintain the same general clunkiness for years at this point is crazy. When it was newer, I could overlook it somewhat and assumed that the wrinkles would get smoothed out over time, but it still feels very janky and duct-taped together. It’s functional enough for what I need it to do, but it may be my least favorite piece of software that I need to use regularly. I used Slack a few jobs ago and I miss it. It has been Teams ever since that job.
The other big issue I have with Discord is that information isn’t really indexable or able to be archived easily. Reddit developed its own issues, but at least it was great to use alongside a search engine. Discord just feels like a black hole of information in comparison. It feels like a ticking time bomb in terms of inevitable enshittification.
Lmao I can tell you’ve never used Teams before.
