It encourages the continued and expanding collective investment in it as a platform, as a location for information. We all know how this ends, and we would all rather that information be on a thousand different independently-owned Mattermost instances than on one worse-than-Reddit black hole.

I agree that Discord is bad for the forum/community use-case that has become ubiquitous on there, but the fact that Discord has ended up getting frequently misused in place of forums is not really a reason to hate on Discord itself, and apparently we would not all rather have something more persistent than Discord for useful information--otherwise a bunch of communities wouldn't still be (mis)using Discord.
