Nice! What are the advantages you see with Discord over Slack for the same purpose (if any)? I figured Slack's been around longer and offers most of these things so I was curious what makes people use Discord over it.
FWIW I use both happily.

I'd be interested in knowing what you prefer in both, since you're using both
Also, have you ever tried a free software, decentralized alternative?

Which are you thinking of?
I've used Riot before, to see what Matrix was all about. The Riot client was kind of sluggish.
Anyways, I suspect the real reason people use things like Slack and Discord is not because it's the best tool for the job but because it's free for them to make a community. Typically, the person who administrates the server/team/community also has to pay a monthly subscription fee or pay to host it on a VPS, so it's only natural that people are flocking to a service which offers to let you do that for free.
