Actually with covid my department just switched to discord and much of the "intentional" part fell out - it felt really good.
It was just hanging out and working. I don't get why teams and competitors are not keen on making sound channels, it's so much better imo.
I rarely get this feeling when using Discord due to the culture if "just hanging out" in channels.
Some people in the channels I frequent will stream their screens by default, just in case anyone wants to see what they are playing at any given time.
All that behind said, I hope this model doesn't become an expectation for remote work, because constantly being forced to stream, or be present for long periods of time in voice channels sounds exhausting.
