It’s a closed ecosystem. What else is there to say?Compare Contrast with IRC, Matrix or XMPP.

So, it’s the lack of admin rights? Inability to decide your own sitewide TOS, lack of privacy from Discord admins, possibility of getting shut down, that’s what they meant?

(I’m not familiar with those other platforms)

None of those details really matter.

What matters for the point of this argument is the simple fact that Discord is owned by the company Discord Inc.

That includes all of the servers and everything on them.

Imagine if ALL OF THE INTERNET was owned by Google …

So the worry is of a surveillance state?
