How Discord Scaled Elixir to 5M Concurrent Users

They could side step to corporate slack on-prem chat style solutions and be a pretty strong contender. They were scaling huge chat rooms and such way better than slack was a year ago.

But they seem to refuse suggestions to do so continuously, so they seem to have some business plan somewhere.

I discussed moving my companies chat to discord because its a better experience than Slack in every way. They wouldn't go for it because it's marketing is so gamer oriented and wouldn't look professional when we invite clients onboard :(

I have the same problem. It would be great if they released the same product without the gaming brand. I would use that for all my personal and professional chats.
