    One problem will be that there are way too goddamn many software projects that use Discord as a shitty replacement for a blog and documentation, and they’re gonna be a pain to move to proper content platforms.

    Sometimes the only way thru is shitty. And those devs might have to learn the hard way not to overcentralize- or to not use a damn chat software for what is way more suited to forums.

    "Look, Discord requires me to upload a pic of my face or ID, to which i can't legally agree to. Please provide another channel or i can't contribute."

    That’ll work for individual users, but getting all that chat history out will be a problem for the owners once the users dry up.

    And I’m sure Discord will do their best to make it impossible.

    Serves them right for picking chat software in the first place, let alone one they don’t control.
