As a precaution, you may want to set up fallback servers on either Matrix or set up your own Mumble server and make a web page describing how to use them ahead of time. Such things may prove useful in the event that Microsoft has Discord outages.
- kayodelycaon 6y agoUnfortunately, I don't own the servers and it is highly unlikely people will move to either of those services. Right now, one of the communities I'm in is split between Telegram and Discord. We had a Slack server for many, many years and no one would use it, no matter how hard we pushed. Moving Slack to Discord was a roaring success. We still have more people on Telegram despite moving all official activities to Discord.
- LinuxBender 6y agoFor sure, I have had similar experiences. The only time people would use servers I hosted was if Discord/other were down hard. I am only suggesting it as a precaution so you don't lose track of your community. Another option may be a mailing list so that your community can at least stay in touch if MS disband all communities that have adult themes.
