Discord is by far the worst alternative. Not only is it worse than a reddit style forum, it has the same "eventually needs to make a profit" corporation ontop of it and when it goes to shit all the information there goes with it because unlike reddit Discord can't be archived.
Yep, I honestly don't know why it's popular outside of making voice chat parties with text / image sharing as a backup.
As a community communication tool, it's a big mess. Just a glorified version of IRC which is hard to follow and search. The lack of archiving just makes it that much worse.
