Switching to Discord is pointless. That's switching from a website controlled by one evil corporation to one controlled by a different evil corporation. Discord is still in hyper-growth mode, so they aren't going to be adding user-hostile features for awhile. Tilde has the same problem.
The irony is that reddit is creating its own competition - when before there was nothing.
Back tracking a few years when digg began to self-destruct, reddit was, in fact, a viable competitor.
Reddit never had a competitor until reddit itself, through the sheer incompetence of its gaslighting CEO, forced the creation of multiple (now) viable competitors.

Spez: "Dammit! What about our moderators?"
Spez-ssistant: "Bad news, the top subs are full of literal buttholes and there is nobody to delete them now that we banned most of the mods"
Spez: "What if I promote you and all your friends, can you guys stay on top of this for a while?"
Spez-ssistant: "I just got an email from CircleJerk Securities, it says they are pulling out of the IPO!"

Not being able to make an account on tildes kinda stopped me from even giving it a chance. Like I get they have valid reasons, but I want to curate my content and be able to be able to make the occasional comment.
