Discord is great.
For now.
I have been bitten so many times, by startups, offering exciting new features and of course great API's.
People flock in, create great interactions, sometimes even better clients, etc.
But thein it always comes, either buyout or IPO (or they just get big enough), and of course the inevitable post about how things wont change because they passionately believe in their vision and community. And then they change everything. Monetization, ads and of course removal of API's.
I do use discord, in fact my biggest problem that between my "work" discords (programming, devops, various user groups) my hobbies, and occasional gaming group I have over 30+ servers, and it's hard to manage at that size.
But I do not trust it, I try to not relay too much on it, because sooner or later it will go downhill.
