Oh please, oh please, can we bring back #IRC and forums again? Or at least XMPP chat rooms again? I’m not sure how #Discord is for sided people, but I just had the app crash three times because it was trying to load a conversation and voiceover acted like the app had not loaded yet. It’s slow down my iPhone to the point where it took five minutes to go to my app switcher. it was hogging so many resources that there was a two or three second delay when swiping through the conversation chains and threads. I’m sure it looks pretty, I just don’t understand why sided people love discord so much, especially since it’s just a bloated IRC client look alike. I also legitimately don’t know how other blind people find it perfect on mobile. From the screen reader point of view, the desktop website is much better in my opinion but the mobile apps are legitimately the worst piece of software that I ever encountered in a while. #Chat #IM #Forums #Forum #XMPP

in reply to Robert Kingett, blind • • •I find it unbearable to use as well, so I just don't. Still on IRC. It does limit my ability to talk to people who aren't nerds born before the 1990s I guess. And even then, not that many of us left.
No idea how Discord is on mobile, but I find it unbearable on the desktop. Very slow, focus does weird things, etc.
