Just like Twitter (X), Facebook, Google, Yahoo or just about any online business.

This dislike of “Discord” has touched a nerve for me. It’s also one of the reasons the
cctalk list has lost most of it value.
Discord is a collection of channels most devoted to specific subjects that you more or
less subscribe to. It’s just a server and you need an invite to join a group. I’m in the
Classic computer group and find it to be filled with knowledge people willing to share
that knowledge with others.
Saying you don’t like “Discord” is like saying you don’t like TV. If you don’t like the
content, simply don’t watch it. Don’t blame the medium.
The main issue with discord is that it's a centralized service dependant on one
particular company which may fold anytime, and that can decide to destroy forums runing on
their servers at any time for any reason.
