I run a mumble server and I'm a holdout. Close friends know I won't go on Discord.
I had a thought the other day that it's interesting now that Discord has a strong user-base, they've really gone backwards in terms of what made them palatable in the first place. If I recall correctly, it used to be that you could send someone a Discord URL and they would be able to instantly join a call from it, no account needed, no app needed, no need to "join a server", just straight into a call. I suspect at some point their strategy moved away from growing the number of users, to now extracting value from existing users.
