I think its yet to be seen if they shot themselves in the foot or not

Remember Reddit?

Yeah they were dirt bags and still exist just fine aren't they

I'd wager its more likely that the same scenario repeats than this being a catastrophic event for discord personally

Unfortunately

    You are most likely correct that it's too early to say. I don't have a problem conceding that point to you.

    I think Reddit did shoot itself in the foot though, regardless of if they are still around. I don't know that they will ever be able to regain what it has lost.

    As a Reddit refugee myself I can say that for me they absolutely fucked over the chance to have me return to their platform, and many if not most of other refugees I'm guessing would share a similar opinion
