Discord servers are the closest. People do build up friendships, relationships, enemyships, and a public persona / reputation within a Discord server.

Discord is centralized, heavily censored, and surveilled, so it can’t serve this purpose for many communities (such as most of the ones in which I participate).

My limited experience with discord was either no activity at all, or so much activity it’s hard to follow what’s going on.

I suppose I never found the right place
