I think it happens because of reddit. A subreddit sucks compared to a forum, yet it's close enough that separate sites have an extremely hard time getting users due to friction. A discord is different enough that reddit isn't a substitute and most people already have accounts, while providing what reddit lacks the most - personal identity and human relationships.
- Noturos 5y agoI agree with all that, the issue for me is when I simply what to peruse info and am forced to join their community. An annoying case for me was a game dev that only posted parch notes in their discord as opposed to a dev blog or something. I think for me a lot of the pains would be solved if discord allowed a guest mode to temporarily view a server without the (admittedly small) hassle of having to leave the server
