The day we worked out (a decade ago) that we could stall discord by talking about world news was the day we moved to more secure communication.
I'd definitely love to move away from Discord, but unfortunately I've not been able to get my friends to move to anything else. Additionally, I have to use Discord for work (yes, it's strange - definitely wouldn't have been my decision) so I'd still be stuck using it even if my friends went over to something else.
Not like there is a better free alternative.
The alternative is a combination of multiple other programs some of which are associated with cost.
