I'm building a lot on discord right now, I like it but I keep getting scared, then I think, eh, irc servers could have gone away too I suppose, in fact they did, much was lost. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of nuanced thinking in this though.

You can always run your own IRC server. If Discord shuts down, then you're out of luck.

Indeed. Discord have really nailed the... ircd, if you will, for what I use discord for (community building in non-technical abstract user bases), it's perfect, terrifying, but perfect.
