I'm noticing an uptick in communities either leaving or transitioning from Discord as their central place of communication. Common themes I'm seeing around this decision: Discord burnout privacy issues lack of proper organization Who else has witnessed this & what reasons would you attribute to wanting to move away?

interesting! it's so tough to find a platform as good as discord but still few actually enjoy it for larger communities. it's a really difficult problem to solve for! I'm in over 100 discords still but only participate in a few, mostly enjoying telegram and small chats

Just like people, I believe there's a dunbar limit as to how many things we can actively participate in. Most communities don't think of the issues that come w/ scaling until they hit it. By then the challenge becomes how to transition. At that point the only solution that seems viable is building something custom

I think you're right, the thing is, building something custom isn't easy for non-devs or community builders not entirely interested in extracting from members in order to pay for something custom. I'd love to and have some ideas but takes things I don't have. Maybe once AI goes through a couple more breakthroughs.

btw, I'm writing something around this, which is what led me to make the initial cast. Will link you when it's published. (fingers crossed, this week)

One solution I've seen is people leveraging the Discord API to transition to their custom solution. This way the community doesn't have to start from scratch & past things are accessible, but the Discord is sunset & the only way to participate is via the new front end. Will be interesting to see if others pick this up
