    You missed the point. They’re using it as a baseline (literally their word), a basis for comparison, a control (in the sense of experiment) if you will, before leaping off into the alternatives.

        The point of them putting Discord itself into their page of Discord alternatives. It’s not there as an alternative. It’s there for comparison purposes.

          Discord is an alternative to a Discord alternative. So, they graded it based on it being an alternative to the other alternatives to Discord. Duh.

            Did you miss the part where I said “It’s not there as an alternative.” or are you being deliberately obtuse?

              Excuse me, but your misunderstanding on the term “alternative” does not warrant calling someone a librarian.
