Slightly OT, but I just realized that Discord contributes to the "dead internet" and "no content preservation" issues: communities are moving there (once again pretending this is a fair replacement for message boards like this one, much like it happened with those stupid facebook groups), the content is not indexed by Google and you need an invite to even read them, this especially affects gaming/modding communities, but I've seen even one of my favorite podcasters having their Discord servers for god knows what purpose (Also, as per 21st century standards it's very poorly coded and kind of contributes to what people think about computers these days - once I read someone suggesting that copy-pasting the entire "Pan Tadeusz" (famous Polish book) could hang your computer. When I explained to him that "dude, that's just 500KB of text" he responded "If you try to copy a couple of paragraphs on Discord it starts to lag awfully". Yeah)
Not sure why JMJ needs a Discord server, to me it's indeed a case of "how do you do fellow kids" - they already tried twitch and TikTok, now Discord - as if they have no idea who their MAIN target audience is?
... what a phrase, I love it!
