Much easier access.

You make a reddit account or a discors account and you have limited access to thousands of forums.

Imagine giving your email address and making a password and solving a captcha hundreds of times instead. Who would choose to?

And don't even get me started on the ease of operating these subreddits and discord channels instead of building and hosting websites.

Discord and Reddit also had uniquely improved their UIs over the existing options.

Until that API nonsense I was always using old.reddit because the redesign was ass.

Discord is cool tho, better than skype gui for sure.

I'm on 3 active forums and 2 lemmies and 2 mastos and I just leave myself logged in. It's nothing like that. Somehow that's still a better user experience than discord
