Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
I play video games. I don't really like gamers or gamer culture very much at all.
I'm in the same boat. I at least sort of "understand" it if that makes sense? Like, it's not my bag but I know about it and that makes it easier to ignore.
But like...my wife is not at all a gamer. She goes to forums or reddit to follow hobby interests she has. Having a bunch of cringey leetspeak and gamer bro stuff is going to be off-putting to those types of people, and maybe enough to prevent them from adopting the platform at all.
It certainly factored into our decision to use slack for our college friends group instead of discord.
Slack is also an easier interface and layout. Discord is pretty confusing the first time you open it. The UI is definitely discordant.
