Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

When I was banned from Reddit I was devestated, thankfully I've come to see it as a blessing in disguise since I'm on lemmy now.
I didn't have friends on Reddit, I do on Discord though, so if Discord became ban happy I doubt I'd reach the same conclusion
Would your friends stay exclusively on Discord if they would ban you?
I'd imagine they would be ready to join another platform to stay in touch with you. And I don't mean that they'll immediately stop using Discord completely but use both simultaneously.
It's not being abandoned by my friends, it's not having a way to explain the situation. That's why I've made sure most of them add me on Telegram and Steam
