Chatting on Discord is not actually your problem. Communicating with your friends and with random strangers who have the same parasocials as you is your problem. And the latter is artificial anyway.
The last Discord I joined was for a local math and formal methods meetup group in my area. The one before that was the official chat space for an open source project.
I disapprove of both these groups choosing Discord to run their official chat on. Nonetheless, it's what they picked, so I need to use some kind of software to send messages to Discord's backend to communicate with these groups if I want to participate in them at all.
