Discord is an absolute piece of garbage, it's not a good messaging app, definitely not a good place to host a community (seriously, I don't understand why some communities saw Discord as an alternative after the Reddit API changes), and most importantly, it's spyware. The company doesn't have a business model and it was founded by a guy who is notorious for creating random shit that's not economically sustainable at all. I don't understand why anyone would use this shit. This video outlines everything that's wrong with Discord: https://youtube.com/watch?v=uvNkdAggUGU
Switch to Revolt or Matrix
it's a good message app, it's how I stay in contact with the person I asked for commission artwork. So you are wrong
Good may mean different things for different people. Lemmy user base are mostly those who outside of pure practical usage look at how service treats users.
