Aside from the aforementioned Discord server not being directly mine (nor are most of the community’s users on the Threadiverse, unfortunately), not only is there a difference between linking to a community Discord server on an associated Lemmy community versus doing so on a Lemmy news community, but the ownership structure and organizational goals of Discord (its gradual commercialization, walled garden, and degradation aside) are a far cry from Twitter being owned by a fascist, transphobic billionaire largely responsible for getting Trump elected.
