There's Ripcord[1], if you want something that is actually lightweight and webtech-free.

If you have to use Slack for work that's one thing. But people chosing to use Discord is just sad and unfortunate. It's just another Facebook situation wherein they are the product and in a few years it'll become unignorable.
Slack is less obvious. Slack boils the frog like they did with IRC bridges and has weird nationalistic restrictions re: USA enemies wherein, say, if the client was developed in Iran then it'll get banned. But it's a lot better odds than Discord where no third party clients are allowed specifically.

The second part is still there but the first part is dead, long dead.
I feel like you need to push this social capital and exchange back into the model somehow to bring it forward but not through nagware or review feelers. Something more real and unprompted
