Fuck Discord is the common message now, but how about we amplify good alternatives? It'll be easier to tell Discord to fuck off if we're already set to move elsewhere.
Forum's, websites, all the shit we used to do.
The main thing I will miss from discord is the ease of streaming with a small group of friends. That was main reason we chose it over alternatives back in the day.
In my day we just hung out with our friends....

Discord has made communicating with a small group of friends who moved to different cities stay in touch daily while playing games, chatting in voice, and streaming stuff to share. Voice and text are great, but the streaming is how we share the in game moments we used to be able to see in person.
