Is there a reason people don't just go back to Vent/TS? Has it really been so long since those were the de facto options that people are in a quandary over what to do when Discord is clearly in the midst of rapid enshittification?

I use Discord primarily for text chats, specifically being able to create several topic channels on a server. Last I used TS/Vent they were for voice chats. Is that still the case?
