So discord is becoming more and more like a forum replacement? This feels like the same direction they’ve already been going in with more server and community features. It is also being used more and more as a forum but without a lot of the features that make forums good, like them usually being open, while discord isnt, or wasnt. This just makes me wonder what discord is trying to be… a private chatroom like it started out as or some kind of forum like reddit?
Hopefully this mission confusion makes people look for alternatives.

Maybe. To me, back in 2016, it was simply a Skype replacement so for me it was just a chatroom. But yeah you’re right that the servers were always a bit forum like at least in comparison to group chats.
