I'm sure there are some businesses using Discord, but they aren't the target audience. The branding and feature set of Discord all make it very clear that it's targeted at PC gamers.

There are a lot of smaller open source projects that are using Discord instead of IRC. I am a member of Reshade, C# OpenTK and general programming servers.

I actually know many opensource projects that moved from the clunkyness of Slack to Discord.

In all fairness, though, the recent releases of Slack made it pretty snappy.

My 70 kb/s connection disagrees. I was barely able to get slack to load, when it did load.

I work in an office with poor reception and it is quite annoying that these apps don't really work unless you are on 3G or better.
