Appreciate the recommendation. Discord has replaced most social media use for me.

For sure, in my case it is important to me as I am heavily involved with a lot of small streamer communities, and discord is the all-encompassing product which nearly all streamers use for announcements and updates, community projects, and sharing any non-stream content that is not a video.

Depending on how this goes with discord, this could be incredibly damaging to so many of these communities and I would really hate to see that.
