Rebranding and Replacing Social Media
I have a large group of friends who are very displeased with the manipulation and misuse of data on Facebook. I believe there is a large portion of their users (myself included) who are desperate for a replacement. Discord can easily be the solution for this, it just needs to implement a few key features that people use Facebook for.
- Profiles with birthdays and personalized info. This allows for users to know and interact with their friends.
- A, "Feed" that shows posts from channels and people you follow. The main reason people are obsessed with Facebook is the ability to scroll endlessly for content.
- Event planning is vital to make sure that people have no reason to stay on Facebook.
I feel if these three simple features are implemented, Discord has an excellent chance to replace Facebook and takeover that market. I would highly recommend advertising and using people brand recognition with Zoom to promote Discord as a better option to get non-gamers introduced during Covid. If these changes are made, I will encourage every person I know to make the switch.

This is pretty cool except maybe the personalized info, it seems too much like Facebook and it could start the whole thing again. But a feed would be pretty cool, and event planning could look something like one of these, but have a set date and time:
Although I personally don't see Discord completely replacing Facebook, these would still be awesome features.1
