Okay, that was a bit of clickbait, but Alexis Ohanian (a Reddit founder - the one who left the Reddit board earlier this year and requested he be replaced by a black person) is a significant investor in Guilded.

Some people are led to believe that Guilded is a viable alternative to Discord, but it is not.

Alexis is the worst of the Reddit founders (which are Alexis, Steve, and also Aaron who 'committed suicide' in 2013, and now Steve pretends never existed)

As I said below with regards to developing a Discord alternative:

Yes - and this would be preferable, but the problem with this is that messaging platforms REQUIRE mobile apps, and we all know that isn't happening.

Expanding on that - we are also spread very thin as it is on the development of our Reddit alternative, so it's not a great idea and not something that we are seriously considering.

Having said that, if you are a developer with the experience and time to contribute to the development of a Discord (or Reddit) alternative, then send me a private message. (even if you've messaged me before - sorry, I am not great at dealing with messages)
