MODERATORS
To be fair, there was a time before Discord. People once used MSN, Skype, Teamspeak, IRC, etc.
They shouldn't get too comfortable with the idea that people won't just up and leave.
There has to be something to leave for
Closest I know is Revolt.
Matrix
Element.io
Discord has real advantages over many of those, and communities are slow to pick up and move. It'll take either a very bad decision from discord or a good competitor. I want that competitor to be Matrix, but it's far from perfect.
Well, adding ads could easily be that very bad decision, if anything can position itself as an attractive alternative fast enough
I don't think it will take just one of those, it will take both.
