Discord vs Zoom
Zoom started first, in 2011, 4 years before Discord.
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 Zoom lasted
- It just worked when the others did not. 2020 turned that into a verb.
- Enterprise remains, even when the kitchen table does not.
