Discord is why Slack doesn't have mass consumer appeal. They can't compete in that market.

They aren’t going after the same demo though. The market is big enough for both of them to exist. The path for Discord is a lot more hazy than Slack imo.

I think for Slack to be truly bigger than it got, it needed both demos. Being workplace only has a ceiling.

Slacks pricing is what they don't have mass consumer appeal. I'm not paying to make the logs you're obviously keeping anyway visible lmao

As a business with employees sure, but as a community? You couldn't have moved everyone to discord faster

Who wants mass consumer appeal? Consumers don't pay for things.

Discord has like a $2billion valuation and no exit. Slack had a $24 billion IPO. Consumer software is not as valuable as enterprise.
