This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. “Everyone else does it” is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.

    After people left reddit as a statement against reddit’s policies on 3rd party apps, Lemmy just so happened to be the next best solution.

    A chatroom platform like Discord is not a reddit replacement, and I do find absurd that some subreddit communities decided to move over there instead of just going to Lemmy.

      I’m not sure we are talking about the same thing.

      I’m not talking about subreddits moving to Discorde, I’m talking about Lemmy instances/communities using Discord as a complementary chatroom while it’s as centralised as Reddit while decentralised alternatives such as Matrix exist
