To demystify why you want to boost (I am in the python discord and other non gaming and gaming chats) it unlocks better features but the core experence of chat still exists . Basically voice chat goes up to 384kbps steams go up to 1080p quality and you get a 100MB upload limit. I know that react and defcon use discord as a chat platform so it’s not just gaming. Having better steaming / audio chat can be good to help people and uploads can be things like python scripts . Sent from my iPhone

No, Discord is a different thing; it does text and voice communication channels in real-time. If you're familiar with Slack, it's broadly similar in purpose.
Thanks (and to the others who replied).
FYI this multiple responses issue doesn't come up on Discourse because the replies are shown in real-time (as is the "Skip is typing ..." at the bottom).
It seems like they've tried to make it a game, giving me the "opportunity" to buy boosts (or whatever). What's up with that?
It's for "funding" a Discord server and how Discord makes money (otherwise the service is free).
Do we really need yet another place full of overlapping discussion channels?
Discord isn't overlapping with Discourse. Think of Discord as replacing IRC while also providing audio chat (and other things). For instance, people who were working together to squash release blockers for b4 were chatting live on Discord. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/XVDO47NT...
