I don't think of off boarding people to Discord as a backdoor.
The Steem blockchain has certain limits with RCs in place. Not every conversation needs to happen on the blockchain...and yet, you and I are still talking here, and that's great.
People will buy Steem to utilize the Steem blockchain and earn rewards. Some people won't. But creating more ways for Steemians to communicate is a better way to bring in more people than forbidding or avoiding other social media altogether.
