Suggesting discord as a competitor to reddit is dumb when discord does not pop up in search results containing information that may provide the solution. Might as well call WhatsApp a competitor to reddit then.
That’s not all people used reddit for though. I’m also absolutely devastated about the amount of generational knowledge that lives on reddit right now, and sad that some of the biggest contributors of that have probably wiped their accounts by now, but for alot of the community aspects of reddit, and finding groups with similar interest, discord does perfectly well.
For socializing discord can match it, but it’s really more the database of information that is searchable and viewable by anyone who doesn’t even use reddit and it not being gatewalled that makes Discord not even come close. It’s too much of a closed ecosystem even among discord account users with having to be in a particular server to benefit, and servers have been shut down and information all lost for members too.
Socializing to me is secondary. Like when it comes to stackoverflow, xda, or whatever random forums pop up in searches it’s really the solution that’s at the forefront of importance than whether these users are friends or whatever for anyone trying to find a relevant answer to their problem.
