Ewww so we end up having our content being monetised by discord
does this happen? I genuinely dont know how discord works as a platform.
can it be a Mastodon instance? I discarded that as option because it has more of a social network UX.

According to Discord CTO and co-founder Stanislav Vishnevskiy, “We have intentionally pursued a business model that does not rely on monetizing our users’ data.” To this end, Vishnevskiy and the rest of the executive team are sure enough of the company’s ability to grow revenue that they turned down a $12B acquisition offer from Microsoft. But the question remains whether Discord’s ad-free model will be able to support further growth and eventual profitability.
