Slack is down, productivity goes up... after using it for a while I find it does communications within a team well but does almost nothing to increase collaboration, so I guess slack is in area which apps like Discord will disrupt.

I don't disagree with you, but in what way do you think Discord will "disrupt" Slack with regards to collaboration?
Discord's a compelling alternative, but it's just another flavour of same. If you want distributed you need something more like IRC or at least federated XMPP.
I don't think making it distributed solves the productivity problem, though.
Err, I find myself wasting much more time in Discord, music bots etc, hah.
