I actually did not know about what happened with Discord. I mean I think its still a cool concept but no reason to rely on it. Especially when its so easy and cheap to store something in S3 and stick a domain in front of it for example.

They said in their official statement[1] that it was to "block malware" but clearly they did not want to serve file traffic off-site. And yes I am very much in favour of using S3 or at least some file hosting service to dump the files where it's their job to do so. I am not sure why they were all using a chat application's file hosting as a CDN with gleeful abandon.
