MODERATORS
The kind of people who obtain information and discourse from reddit would never wish to obtain it from discord. They're not even remotely similar in approach.
I still use both and they don't come close to serving the same purpose
I've seen at least one sub (r/conlangs) partially migrating to Discord. They might not like it, and I do agree that the approach is not even remotely similar, but Discord is still able to somewhat fill - poorly - the same role as Reddit, so with Reddit going kaboom Discord will partially absorb redditfugees.
Discord is also in a position to absorb some twitterfugees.
If discord adds more persistent web space that's searchable by web crawler, I could Discord see become this replacement. Right now it's too gated behind individual communities.
Fully agree.
I hope that it doesn't though. We don't need yet another centralised platform that can and will go rogue, and is already showing signs that it wants to go rogue.
