    Problem is people are fucking lazy and will not move to another platform.

    It’s not that people are lazy, it’s that a feasible alternative does not exist yet.

      the problem is not that there is no feasible alternative, the problem is network effects.

        None of them come close to doing a single thing better than Discord, or even at the same level as Discord. There simply isn’t an application that realistically competes with any one of Discord’s features yet, let alone the entire suite. Every other platform currently available is either a downgrade in terms of features/functionality, or costs the user money (which immediately makes it prohibitive for 99% of users).
