with the number of communities and the variety of how they are being utilized on Discord, the features on here will need to be extraordinary to move those communities off there.
I rather expect if you started checking them out, you'd soon discover what I'm talking about. The chat functionality that is the reason to be for Discord would not be easily built into the blockchain.
This is all true. Communities with hundreds or thousands of members, or tiny niches with only a club-full hanging out, are where things get done, and relationships get made. An exchange on comments like this is forgotten five minutes later. But the people we chat with every day, are the ones I'm spending the weekend with now for a meetup starting tomorrow, and definitely the ones I look for and read first.
