Somewhat related tangent -- while I have issues with Discord as a platform, I do find it to be a very friction-less way to get a community together easily. But since it has consumed so much of the conversation on the internet, it is quite concerning that centralizing all of this knowledge and culture in one, closed, proprietary space will inevitable lead to that Reddit moment when unpopular moves are made from the underlying business and everyone suddenly realizes they fucked up. It was especially strange seeing Reddit subs during/after the blackout funneling users into Discord communities.
