I personally hope not. Microsoft isn’t among my favorite companies, and they tend to drop projects after a few years or change them to fit in the office 365 sphere. That being said, Microsoft isn’t exactly evil either. There are far worse companies that could take it over.
The biggest problem with discord is their revenue model, making it hard for them to be profitable. They don’t really sell anything worthwhile unless you have a very large community. We tried to boost ours (Thomas and I did for a couple months) - but it wasn’t useful enough to justify the relatively high expense of it. Probably makes much more sense for communities with several hundred members, but for communities like ours, Discord is basically offering a free service. Makes it harder on them for cash flow/revenue purposes.
