From a competitor perspective, Discord is a great product. There is no question about it. But the UI/UX and lingo is heavily optimized for gaming communities.

Discord's UX/UI can be disorienting and complex for professional communities. With AirSend, We are targeting the professional niche with clean and simple UX (https://www.airsend.io/build-community).
