  Discord are up to something with their new global unique @ username system. I expect totally public forums like Reddit soon.

    After Musk took over Twitter and people were looking for alternatives, one that stuck to me was Discord: they have a user base basically tethered to the Internet and a solid brand. If they wanted to launch a competitor, it could really take off.

    And the community really hates it. It is just that there isn't good alternatives to protest. Apart stopping paying for Nitro.

  > If they were clever they would've done some guerilla marketing to get people onto their platform off reddit... It was already happening "organically". Every single gaming subreddit had a discord as well. When they announced the blackouts, they left a "see you on discord" message. It's sad because I don't really like discord, it's a blackhole of information. With Reddit you could google and find things, unfortunately nothing gets indexed on Discord by google. So to find anything useful you need to join a discord "server" (not really a server) and use their search (which isn't great).

  It appears that Discord have been hiring former FAANG employees(esp META) based from their glassdoor reviews which was found by a redditor https://archive.md/asyPC https://archive.md/asyPC
