So far I haven't seen anything about discord that makes me think of it as a success. Except maybe that it supports more trolls and lurkers at once without crashing than the old chat does. Can't even remove my account there - you have to wait for it to go "inactive" which takes days leading me to think much less of the "900-1000 users online" in a day statement. How many of those are people who signed in to take a look at the new features, came across a troll spouting off something unpleasant or spamming the main room with porn and then popped right back out again never to return?
Discord makes Skype and Teamspeak/Mumble completly useless. This simple app does what those two can do but with a more user friendly design. One of its main strengths is probably that it is way easier to access to someone else's discord; on link only and the user isn't forced to download anything, nor create an account, if he doesn't want to.
