Analogous to the metaphor you just made, the "better solution" is not talking to people. I'm all-for open and secure communication protocols, but the layman isn't going to agree if you cast it as an all-or-nothing mentality.

If the average Discord user read your comment, I think it would reaffirm their assumption that free Discord alternatives aren't for them.
