I don't think discord is bad it is just proprietary.
proprietary services tend to change the owner, their policies and make it very hard to switch the service without losing content.
And you have to "sign" a contract with them to use the service and waive rights.
So why not using matrix instead?
It is mature now and as a perk you have more ways to organize conversations and a low priority idle mode for rooms.
