Well, Discord also has its own styles of memes and things. And 4chan is actually also made of multiple communities, like other people said. Reddit is probably a closer comparison, or maybe Facebook, with the difference that Discord requires an app and login and is not really "web". It's complicated. Sure, nobody is running their workplace chat on those, but it doesn't negate that Discord is sort of a Reddit-like aggregate of communities for many people.

> Discord also has its own styles of memes I think you're misattributing the medium to the.. dunno, zeitgeist? of communications. As the servers/communities are so closed off (relatively, compared to other things) I don't think the comparison to reddit stands. I'm on several gaming discords and even they're varying so much, the only overlap is general memes. I've not stumbled over any sort of discord-'in'-language. On reddit you have upvotes or copypastas or cake days or whatever, but as others have said, Discord is more like email - not even like IRC with some of its oddities.
