Discord's channel system and notifications by default are extremley annoying.

No idea why they made Discord audibly ping whenever someone say anything in any channel on new servers you join.

Because you can mute any part of it?

compare this to slack - where not every channel on the org will ding by default when you join.

I think sensible defaults are valuable, and I don't think Discord's approach here is sensible.
