Some argue about this from the perspective that it's a question of idealism vs pragmatism. I personally couldn't care less about idealism, but the practical implications of depending on a business that's seemingly still living on mostly investor money to be the sole provider of a service you depend on shouldn't be overlooked.
How practical will Discord be once enshittification accelerates? How practical will it be after it reaches EOL for failing to convince investors that it'll ever turn a profit? Can I run my own Discord infrastructure when that happens? Can someone else? If and when Discord says goodbye, can I easily export the data that is otherwise walled into the product? Given these considerations and a long term goal of being accessible to as many users as possible, how practical is Discord, really?
