do you think crypto communities will stay on discord? what will they adopt in its place? curious if others will follow nouns footsteps

for the next couple of years, yes. 

I wouldn't be surprised if a web3 native platform that addresses all of the current problems of discord emerges sometime in 2025 - 2026.

Evangelizing Incentives That Combine Self Interest With Collective Benefit & A Few Other Things I'm Still Trying To Figure Out

i agree, the question is just whether it'll be one platform or many IMO
