I suspect that discord is the replacement for reddit. There's a 90-9-1 rule of thumb ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule https://www.nngroup.com/articles/participation-inequality/ https://www.nngroup.com/articles/participation-inequality/ ) and a migration from reddit to discord will benefit the 9-1 portions and provide a net loss to the 90% (lurkers / people who find content via google). You can't make a community go somewhere. The the place that it ends up is on discord (and irc in times before), then discoverability for the rest of the population that aren't participants in that community will suffer along with the companies that previously hosted that content and were able to monetize their eyeballs. ... but isn't that what people have been wanting? "Down with {big corp}!" be it google or reddit or Facebook?
