    Let’s not forget an even bigger problem with Discord: It locks your communities, including contacts and years of content and discussions created by members, behind some corporation’s terms and conditions whims. You (or your friends, or the “server” admin) can lose access to it all at any time, without warning. They can and have used this as leverage to extort personal info from people. A policy change, accident, or technical glitch can leave you out in the cold.

    This alone is reason enough to avoid it.
