The day Discord dies will be a massive loss for the internet.

What loss will that be? Discord's value is the same as MSN Messenger - the history on Discord is already unusable for resolving issues, so when it's gone people will just move to the next real-time communication platform that fills the same gap. It's not a forum that people can search and find answers on years after discussions have happened and solutions have been posted.

See my other comments. There is still no suitable alternative to Discord that is as good at it for making communities people can easily access. The loss is not solely in the messages that get locked away (sure that sucks too). It's the loss of the communities that can't exist on platforms like Matrix or IRC.

Another community will take its place one day, so no real value will be lost.
