For me, this would probably be the final nail in the coffin, depending on how this pans out. I don't see any good from investors having a say in what happens to Discord on a bigger scale. It would probably mean they'd pressure Discord into 3rd party ads and/or selling user data, for example.

Does anyone know an alternative to Discord for building communities? There's https://revolt.chat/ which seems centralized, and https://matrix.org/ which is decentralized, but they seem mostly for chatting with friends. I'm looking for an alternative for game devs, publishers, artists and content creators to build their own communities.
