We use it for our friend group, as we have pub nights, group meals, vacations etc. we also all do each other’s cat care when we’re out of town, so we have a channel devoted to pet photos etc. works well enough for us.
Iirc strictly speaking you don’t need an account to use it, but most servers disable that option for anti spam reasons. But if you’re setting up a server for friends they can chat from a browser without having to sign up first
Discord is fine for chatting, voice, and iterating quickly on projects. I have no idea why people want to think it’s a forum. That’s ridiculous.

Exactly. That’s a great use for it.
Unpopular opinion: I never liked discord for chatting either. I found it strangely confusing trying to keep track of logins for each group
Edit: I am indeed thinking of slack
You may be thinking of Slack
? Discord has one log in.
Its pretty awful for all those things if you care about privacy or can’t signup for an account
.
Obviously you would need an account to use it.

Discord is self-hosted?
No, but discord chats are usually called “servers”
