oh don’t worry, discord won’t shut down. it will just gradually enshittify more and more as it keeps trying to make more money as the vc funds dry up, eventually being bought by a large corporation looking to sell the user data for a nice profit.

then once it gets bad enough, another centralized, proprietary platform will pop up that promises to be slightly better than discord (at least, better than discord after its gradual decline), people will move to it in droves, and the cycle will start all over again

discord will continue to stick around for a couple more years after that, until the company that bought it decides it’s not worth running anymore and unceremoniously shuts it down, destroying over a decade worth of people’s memories in the process
