what do people use discord for exactly?

Too much.

It's a chat platform geared towards gamers, with voice chat, screen sharing, and streaming options... that's been coopted by vloggers... but most unsettlingly, it's being used for customer support and documentation.

A lot of knowledge bases are buried in the walled garden of servers, and a labyrinth of chat rooms.

That last point is exactly how I feel about discord and telegram. Maybe not walled off yet but definitely a labyrinth of chat rooms of data that I can't easily digest.
