and they are almost more powerful than email. Look how widely Discord is used, compared to email. Email might have more sites, but outside of corporate reminders, more communication happens on Discord.
Yes a good amount are spam, marketing, scams, etc. But that just comes with the fact that the platform is free and open.
Very strange to me to make such a barrier with corp communication. That’s communication too, and most of these corps now have things like Slack aka Discord anyway.
Yahoo Mail
Hotmail
Protonmail
Fastmail
AOL
Etc.
Meanwhile, if you can't use discord, then You're locked out of all of discord forever. And discord is like the 10th Gen of "hot new chat apps", what do we do when it starts to die (because Discord will probably start dieing in the next 10 years)? Just lose everything in all those discord groups, like we lost ICQ and MSN messenger and AIM and Skype?
