      Because not everyone has the know how or resources to self host an alternative that only a small amount of people are going to use.

      Also, trying to move an entire friend group to a different platform is hard, especially when they are part of other friend groups that are also using discord.

        Yeah I get it. Not everyone is as ideological (not a putdown). I just left all those groups. They know how to reach me when they want to chat.

          I don’t know your situation, and more just for the sake of a debate, but doesn’t that just silo you or put you in a bubble?
