    Discord is not really intended for “friends and families”, it’s for communities.

      It’s not really for communities either, it’s for locking communities into a corporate platform.

          It’s not for the communities, it’s for the shareholders-to-come.

            Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?

              Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.

                “customers” meaning the communities?
