Discord Going Public

Discord has a new CEO and has announced their intentions to go public.
From this position of strength, it feels like the right time to transition from CEO to Board Member and Advisor. So I am thrilled to welcome Humam Sakhnini as the next CEO of Discord.

After spending significant time together, I have complete confidence in his ability to lead us into the future alongside Stan and the rest of our executive team. Humam brings more than 15 years of experience in the gaming industry, including at Activision Blizzard where he served as Chief Strategy Officer helping guide franchises like World of Warcraft and Call of Duty. He later took over from the founders of King to delight the players of their live service games while substantially growing the King business in the public market.

Although any move to IPO was probably going to come with a degradation of services and higher costs, plucking a CEO whose background is in microtransaction (or macrotransaction) hellscapes seems to bode even worse.

I don't use the Discord anymore but having it as a archive of discussions and bridge between online and offline players was a positive. I wonder if Discord ever started to become degraded or monetized against our needs if we could move the systems that were build for Discord to something open source like Revolt? I've heard it described as an open source clone but I'm not a developer so wouldn't know if it uses similar APIs and such that it could be adapted to work with our Discord tools.

I hope that it remains "free" to use for most people.

TBH, I am surprised at how long Discord has managed to remain free. All the while, continuing to evolve and add new features.

The code base is only half, or maybe two thirds of the equation. The remainder is the underlying hosting infrastructure. Those "free" servers that people spin up aren't actually free. They're using compute resources that someone is paying for.

I imagine that they will continue to monetize gaming companies and streamers as their primary source of income. It seems like the majority of companies and well known streamers have Discord channels. They seem to be expected and therefore viewed as the cost of doing business.

The rest of the community who host their own personal Discords. And the smallish communities will likely remain able to coast on the coattails of those larger parties.

I am not a big Discord user. I primarily use it to find people to group up with in whatever game I'm playing.

If there are not already hard caps on the number of users who can use a "free" server, I except that those will be coming sooner than later. "We see that you've reached 10 users.
