"Most people?" Do you have a source for that claim?

Sounds like Discord will announce Friday they lost most of their users?

It doesn't have to be "most" is just has to be "many". As everyone knows, it is all about growth and gaining users for these companies. Having a shrinking pool of users rather than a growing one is the kiss of death.

This would be a moved goalpost from the idea that “most” people are leaving discord.
We’ve been saying these things about Mastodon and Blue Sky for a long time but they’ve also remained niche.
Discord really isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

I don’t think it’s ‘many’ either.

Time will certainly tell. Just anecdotal, but I've personally cut off more than one service that demanded intrusive personal information.
