Same. I'm sure Discord is special to people today in the same way that AIM, IRC and phpBB forums were special to me growing up.

Yes and no. The massive use of the internet makes communities very different now than they were 15-20 years ago.

I don't see the same level of fascination with Discord that we had back in the day with IRC. Maybe because we're used to it now and having a chat with thousands of people.
