It is a strange choice, all right. I had some fun with Wombo, and this looks much more interesting - but I'm not going to go figure out Discord, and potentially have to deal with a bunch of crazy gamer kids, just to try it.

Presumably they will make a better interface available as they shift from early testing to productization.

You don’t have to figure out Discord or deal with “gamer kids”. You literally need 1 commands to use Midjourney.
You have to figure out Discord well enough that you have an account and know where to type in the commands, don't you? Is Discord not a chat service for gamers, or am I thinking of something else?
It is, but presumably you have seen a chat application before and thus already know where to type, and can deal with a totally standard website sign-up flow too. I don't like Discord, but it isn't difficult.
Midjourney users are sectioned off into separate rooms. For me, Discord ran into an updating bug and either they didn’t assign me to a room, or the app failed to surface the room. I had to force quit the app and restart it. I’m not familiar with Discord so I can’t comment if bugs like that are endemic or not but it doesn’t make a good first impression.
