Why Discord lasted

  • Voice that works plus a server as a home page. Games were the wedge. Everything else followed.
  • It is where communities went when forums died and Facebook groups got old.

Why Slack lasted

  • It turned IRC-for-work into a company default and made search across chat a reason to stay.
  • Salesforce bought it and the login did not vanish, which is the adult form of surviving.
