> Most Discord users are moving away from the platform

I dread the day I'll make claims like this, even figuratively.

Even at a most surface level reading, this would suggest something like their MAU (monthly active users) at least halving soon/already.

I'd be very surprised if it was trending down even, let alone at this! Forget hyperbole, this is an outright überbole.

By all means though, got any data?

It took down Teamspeak and several other alternatives last time discord tried this: https://www.techdigest.tv/2026/02/discord-discord-triggers-s...

Anecdotally, I suddenly had almost my entire friend group on matrix after that as well. I had campaigned for months but AV was the thing that got them to finally sign up.
