I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about in the comments. I use discord pretty much constantly and at all times.
Nitro ads? It's 1 very minor ad when you launch the app. Then there's no more ads.
Not as good as forums? Bull. I get an answer to my question immediately on discord. I may never find the answer to my question by sifting through dozens of pages of forum posts of someone having a similar but not congruent problem to mine.
Can't find information? Discord has integrated forums with a search feature in each server.
Bloated? How so? You have an inbox and you have your list of servers on the left hand side. Okay, some of the options are a little obscured, but it's not like Discord is doing anything except connecting like minded people via text and voice/video chat.
I sincerely don't know what anyone is talking about. But part of me thinks it's because discord doesn't have E2E encryption and yall wanna discuss some naughty shit.
Who the hell uses the inbox
It's only useful when some random person pings you that got buried by hundreds of messages
