They monetize using nitro. Discord servers use multiple different servers based on location to host the actual chat services. I'm not an expert on the inner workings but it's actually rather complex and fascinating. If you don't like using discords clients then maybe try an open source alternative discord client, if nothing else it will give you insight into the back end and help you better understand what's going on behind the scenes. Technically using alternative discord clients goes against their TOS but considering your feelings on discord I doubt that will matter to you.
You can't be seriously suggesting this while also knowing it's against their TOS. It feels especially ironic giving the massive surge in Lemmy's popularity was over a proprietary backend blocking third party clients.
That's what surprised me the most.
Lemmy members using Discord feels like a vegetarian not eating chicken but enjoying beef.
People use different platforms for different reasons.
I personally use Lemmy because it's currently the best alternative to Reddit. I use Discord because it's the most popular instant messaging platform, and I haven't had issues with it. I'm currently looking for a replacement for Twitter/X as I'm not confident with the way that platform is headed.
Mastodon
Yep, one of the platforms I'm looking at, and seems to be the second best contender for me. Tumblr of all places is where I'm feeling most at home
