The Discord Trend

[Weltall]

It wouldn't surprise me to see it become an offering some day. For a yearly fee, you can host and operate a truly Discord server, connected to the larger system for updates and security, but self-contained and operating entirely on your hardware. Not only is that a service some people would pay for, it would also reduce operating costs to a degree, while still having a captive audience which can still be served paid ads and services. 

Sometimes tech innovators miss the obvious things.
