Discord's enshitifcation is going to be brutal.

  They took a lot of VC investment so it seems almost inevitable.

  I don’t think so. Discord is already enshitified enough that people won’t rely on it to the same degree. For example, you’ll never see people appending discord to random search queries because it’s closed off to search engines anyway, so that doesn’t do anything. As others have mentioned, discord is highly ephemeral, so you won’t see people depend on it much as a repository of long-term knowledge. It’s a chat server for throwaway discussions and meeting people for gaming.

    Hate to be the breaker of bad news, but a lot of niche libraries and communities (especially modding communities) have foregone documentation in favor of discord chats since they're keeping their message storage for a relatively long time. So it is a problem.

  It could become as low quality as some of my SMS threads!
