Didn’t /r/malefashionadvice explicitly close the subreddit and recommend everyone go to their Discord? I can’t check it now since I’m at work, but if I remember right, it is still closed with the mods saying they expect to be removed at any point.
You sure it wasn’t “let’s go to discord to get updates where we will move”? Discord won’t work well unless it’s a very small community.
Edit: I just joined and they created many smaller channels, I guess that helps them scale to larger number of users. So yeah I was wrong, but I still insist for majority of subreddits discord isn’t a matching platform and more like a compliment, when you want to talk live with somebody.
I’m pretty unfamilar with Discord, was after my time. But for the little I do know, I think you’re probably right. MFA might be a different kind of community where smaller more real time chats like Discord can work, but for the majority it doesn’t seem like it would be a good forum/reddit replacement.
Discord is great to hang out in large or small groups, but it is nearly useless for sharing information beyond a few pinned comments per channel. Their search is extremely “fuzzy”. Searching for anything and what you want is likely to be buried in results containing common words that look kinda sorta similar to the word you searched.
And ironically enough I just saw a story where Reddit followed through on its threats to remove the mods. So they removed them all and the sub is back open, but locked so no one can post.

It’s certainly not for me at any rate.

Yes, they left a message with a link to their Diacord.
You are absolutely correct about this.
