>One of the biggest issues with Discord is how the content posted into a community is lost into the abyss.

This is something Discord could fix by adding functionality. They've solved the base problem - they have the users. The overlap of Reddit users and Discord users is huge. You need a Discord account these days even if you aren't into gaming or "socializing" on the internet - most programming projects use it instead of IRC or Slack now.

Discord is also in a better position re:IPO/profitability.

That's why when people kept saying "there's nowhere for people to go" I thought Discord would be the perfect choice. If they're willing to capitalize on the opportunity they absolutely could swoop in and start eating Reddit's lunch.
