We cannot possibly support every user's preferred platform. Besides, didn't Discord just do an IPO? This increases the likelihood the platform will now have a much higher revenue focus and could mean it may transition over time to either a paid model or add advertising or some other revenue raising model. (I notice with interest that Google has started transitioning some of its services which were previously free to a paid model and I wonder if the free service gravy train might be coming to an end?)
