It took off because it was objectively the best catch-all communication option for gamers at the time. It’s still the best option for certain use cases like that, but I’ll never understand why people prefer it for projects, troubleshooting, updates, etc. It seems incredibly lazy and unserious to me. And the current Discord mobile layout is absolutely horrible, making for a totally miserable user experience.

Get your games from trusted sources, make sure the hash lines up, and don’t worry about it. Especially since you’re on Linux–you’ll be absolutely fine. Common sense goes a long way.

Sounds like someone’s upset they weren’t invited earlier lol.
