I really want to see Slack and Discord compared directly

  They are super similar, but Discord is free. I can't imagine what can be said in its disfavor. Fun fact: several months ago, Russia blocked Telegram. Telegram refused to go quietly and started hopping between numerous Amazon IPs to avoid direct IP blocking. The Russian regulators started blocking Amazon IPs en masse and severely damaged internet connectivity for weeks. Youtube slowed down to a crawl. Slack was paralyzed. Discord? Not even a hiccup.

    I'm positive Youtube doesn't run on AWS.

      Good point! Quick googling shows that Google’s IPs were also targeted, not only Amazon’s (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/18/russia-blocks-google-amazon-ip-addresses-in-bid-to-ban-telegram.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/18/russia-blocks-google-amazon-...).
