> Yet people are en-mass switching from discord.

Some people are, but I would bet money on it being a very small number of people who switch platforms. The HN bubble is not representative of the average user.

This is similar to when HN thought Reddit's userbase was going to shrink after the API changes (it didn't) or when the internet thought Netflix was going to lose subscribers when they cracked down on account sharing (they grew, not shrank).

A few blog posts about people switching to IRC or setting up their own Matrix servers in protest isn't representative of a mass movement.
