Welcome!
Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ค๐

PieFed is a reddit clone.
Discord communities need a discord clone. It's not rocket science.
Say matrix and I'd have agreed it's good enough for a lot of people's needs... But so is IRC. And that's never been good enough to migrate Discord users.
The only way to kill Discord is a Discord clone like fosscord/Spacebar or some of the other similar projects.
You don't replace Twitter with reddit and you don't replace Discord with it either. That clearly, CLEARLY has not met the majority of users needs or we wouldn't be having this conversation.
I'm just saying that a lot of Discord communities would function better with a different structure. That they are on Discord only because it's ubiquitous and free, not because it's the best solution.
Not sure why you seem to want to insist that is somehow not even a possibility.
No, I totally agree with that part. I wish people would move. I wish it was possible just to convince them to use a slightly different model of things. I'm absolutely disgusted in people's inability to adapt or adjust to even the slightest changes. I'm definitely not advocating for them.
But PieFed is really a reddit model. People using Discord for chat and that type of more instant communication you really need both PieFed and Matrix.
Sorry if you're the one I claimed was out of touch, I shouldn't talk to people I don't know like that. Hope I made my case.
