Discord and heavily moderated forums are the future.

Yeah, small, invite-only "walled garden" style communities are definitely the future of the web.

There has always been those of course, but I think they will just end up becoming the default, rather then the fringes. And the thing with these smaller communities is that they are far less tolerant to their hosting platforms pulling dumb shit (like stating they will train AI's on the comunities content).

IRC still is around. Pretty sure most of the user base is human still.
Lots of bots. Also body-only-soul-less users (as I call those that never look at messages).
