The name might suggest this, but in the end it is what the participants make of it. But looking at this forum...

It's basically what the cool kids are using instead of IRC these days. Some companies [1] are using it instead of forums for support, which stinks because search engines can't index it.
[1] Emphatically not saying I think our gracious hosts intend to do that.

Discord is great for small groups to coordinate games and keep a running history or dialogue, while connecting for remote in game speech. I used it for Fantasy Grounds for over a year.
But its utility quickly breaks down when large numbers of people are involved. I find it all but impossible to locate relevant information from a few weeks or months ago without going post by post in those mega-groups. Imagine this forum without any titles separating like posts... just all jumbled together beyond a broad topic. That is Discord.

Yep. For running a game it may well be exactly what the doctor ordered. I just hate that it's turned into a place for people to ask "hey, which book has the rules for landing on a planet with more gravity than your M-drive can pull? [1]", because the answer won't be googlable.
[1] Solomani Front [2], p. 184.
[2] Hey cool, my autocorrect has learned the word 'Solomani'.

I was involved in 5e game that used Roll20 for maps, lore and logging and dice rolls, with Discord used for voice chat and supplemental maps and handouts. Worked like a charm. But yeah, my other discord channels (the Traveller discord for example) are chaotic messes and essentially useless.
