I think the sales pitch is

a) better threading UX

b) E2E encryption

admittedly I'm a very casual Discord user, and haven't used this app at all yet, so I may be missing something.

Also, sounds like the Android app is coming, so I don't think "don't want to talk to Android users" is an intended sales point?

I don't really like Discord's threads. They're basically a channel nested inside of a channel, but they don't really interact with or get exposed in the outer channel. And by default, they disappear after a while. And the threads are kind of hard to find if you haven't joined them yet.

Something that has a UX more like traditional forums as a chat app sounds neat to me.
