As people got the hang of using Discord to make large, complex, moderated and bot assisted servers people communicate more heavily on there.
Discord moves too fast for me to want to use it that way, all conversations disappear rapidly on busy servers, but other people certainly do
I think the communities that moved there weren't posting the same types of content. When someone wants to ask a question you just get an answer, no back and forth or debates needed. That doesn't work when you're posting a news articles looking for lively debate.
