No arguments from me on any of those.
No hard feelings, but I feel your reply was a bit unnecessary? Did you read my comment and think I felt that a Discord server was actually... separate from Discord, the company?
I wrote my post on HN, for an audience of people who understand that stuff already.
What I meant is, for most purposes, a Discord server "feels independent enough" for most people. Yes, your data lives on Discord's servers and they could yank the plug at any moment. You don't actually own anything. Again, I wrote my post with the assumption that HN readers are knowledgeable about such things.
- Miraste 3y agoNo offense was meant. It seemed like your post drew a distinction where there isn't one. Even from a non-technical perspective, the Discord server system is roughly the same as the Reddit subreddit one. My point was it doesn't represent a shift to smaller communities or parallel old-school forums at all.
