discord sucks but your complaint is just that you arent able to approve every conversation on a message board lol, just respect and ignore them the same way you would with friends-of-friends irl
anyway I've run a community with now 60k people for several years now, and at one point we had a controversial guest and a discord staffer hopped on and delisted us permanently from the "server search" feature, so despite still having net growth somehow (the retention is exceptional) the only growth we have is from friend invites and injections from the guests we invite. the monthly new users (not net) dropped immediately from like 8k to 300. I've emailed and called discord, the other server owners have emailed them, I've used twitter and server reports and even contacted junior staff I personally know. they have us on a loving blacklist for communication about anything lol, despite only having 3 strikes in 4 years of running this. big tech is noteworthy for being lazy and cutting corners on their content, but discord is probably the most lazily run social media app in history.
150 million people use this app and they employ like 200 people, for half of them their entire job is managerial and typically encompasses putting more beanbags in the office space, or networking to get loving danny devito to do a presentation on it. there is zero incentive for absolutely any of this to change and jason citron is a cuck
