Largely owned by tencent afaik, putting things that are QoL and somewhat accessibility behind paywalls (like themes are a nitro only thing), do nothing against the spam bot malware thing (and they can scan the messages, since you can set the nsfw filter on them), not searchable outside of the app so things can get lost easily, their audio function is somewhat known to be problematic (for me it „catches“ the full audio out without software in between, so game sound or Netflix or whatever gets cut off completely).
Those are what I can think of quickly. I am also not knowledgeable enough to accurately judge their software in terms of performance, but it feels very bad to me.
Discord is not publicly traded yet, so you can’t buy Discord stock on the stock market. A publicly traded company has registered its shares for trading on a public stock exchange such as the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange, and that hasn’t happened yet for Discord.Nov 17, 2023
While the exact percentage of Tencent’s ownership in Discord is not publicly disclosed, reports indicate that Tencent acquired a minority stake in the company through a funding round in 2018. This investment allowed Discord to secure substantial funding and further develop its platform and services. Despite Tencent’s involvement, Discord maintains its operational independence and continues to be managed by its own team.
