That's what many social media companies have said, lol.
But the sad thing is many communities will (and already have) move to Discord. Which is even worse, as Discord is a siloed information black hole.
I still don't know how that works. Discord seems like the worst possible substitute for reddit. It doesn't work at all the same way and search sucks.
Exactly instead of a bunch of publicly searchable information silos we have a whole bunch of fragmented private ones with absolutely no overlap and far less useful. We need a publicly funded site of some kind.
They're not private. Advertisers have full access and that's what actually matters.
I meant from people like you and me that are Googling an obscure topic or researching something or troubleshooting information, those things are disappearing behind the walls of Discord
