I’m also on Discord, much as I’d rather not be - as I expect many others here also are.
Lemmy allowed me to cut reddit out completely, because it successfully fills the same purpose for me - a feed of news, information, memes and random stuff, with room for discussion. There may not be as much content as reddit or as many niche communities, but that doesn’t matter.
But with Discord, there are specific communities that compel me to stay on Discord, because that’s where the people are. I’d love to move entirely to better and more open platforms, but unless those communities move too I can’t leave completely.

Discord hasn’t started enshittification yet.
Oh it definitely has
They are planning to IPO later this year. In preparation they’ve already added shit features or removed some good ones.
Discord will soon be the next piece of shit.
As long as discord can voice calls and channels that are quick and easy to join, it literally does all most people need.
