Agreed. If we want to move away from Reddit, why not move away from Discord too?

Why move away from discord lol? It's not like people just moved from reddit for fun. Discord doesn't have the same issues people left reddit for.

Yes, yes it does. Both Reddit and Discord don't allow 3rd party clients. It's just that Discord never allowed any in the beginning. The arguments of a centralized content silo applies to Discord too.

Neither are people moving away from Discord for fun.

By the way, read the edit on my parent comment.

Yes. It also never needed third party apps because it works well, has good accessibility features, etc... while reddit doesn't. I honestly don't think that third party apps are a necessity most of the time. Reddit is just a relatively unique platform where they had a thriving third party scene and took them away without any intention to add the features that the official app lacked.
