Discord is a protocol. The people you interact with is entirely up to you.

It's a dick protocol. It fosters incoherence. Thus its popularity with monkeys.

Reddit. HN. Those are good protocols.

There are some bad incentives to Discord the company, but at its core the program merely provides a chat protocol like IRC. I think you've only proven the point that any protocol can be used to be a dick.

Reddit is astroturfed and censored by the American government. Reddit is like Twitter of social aggregators.

It's a platform. If it was a protocol anybody could run their own Discord server, which you cannot. (Discord "servers" aren't servers, and you don't own them, Discord does.)
