I am personally very excited for this. While yes, we have gone full circle (as I'm sure many will point out), I do think this was missing from Discord for vario

  Since we've come full circle, I'm now wondering what new chat thing will replace Discord later this decade.

    Discord voice has finally become available on Xbox and Playstation support is coming soon. I think this is going to make it pretty difficult for potential Discord challengers to usurp it. Unless the competitor comes from a company with enough clout or money to convince Microsoft and Sony to support it.

  So Discord displaces forums..and then brings them back in a worse way (walled garden, in a web app, probably no search engine indexing because they aren't actually web pages)

    Maybe the next evolution is something that's both good at being a forum and good at being interactive chat.

  I think what people always miss in the "come full circle" bit is that it's usually "come full circle, but having integrated what we learned along the way." Discord took over due to the ability to have real or near-real time communication, and the vastly improved UX around a whole host of things. Discord was never intended/ to replace forums, that just happened because people started using in that way. Now they are recreating the forum experience with the addition of all of the learnings from having built discord. Should be good!
