Why didn’t these mods suggest Lemmy/Kbin instead of Discord? I don’t get the appeal of Discord. Why would you want to be in a massive chat room with a bunch of strangers?
A lot of users push for Discord. Very few (comparatively) push for Lemmy/Kbin.
I was a mod of a 500k+ subreddit. We wound up basically being forced to make a Discord a few years ago because users wanted one so badly. It wound up becoming more active than the actual subreddit itself, and has a bigger mod team (most of whom aren't even mods on the subreddit, just Discord).
