Discord has integrated: -communities (as servers) -forums (as text channels) -direct messages -voice chat -video chat -private group calls

This can all be used from their web-app. Their centralized server model allows people to join/leave calls at will, saves conversation history, and just so happens to give the company a great deal of data. It's all extremely convenient.

I agree with you that Discord is abusive of its power, and I would much prefer to utilize a free-software solution. Unfortunately, I do not believe any communication software in the world, free or unfree, comes close to the value proposition of discord.

Video chat and screen sharing is not supported on their web app, and they push you to download their (electron) app for those features.

It's a big sacrifice! I'm not denying that.
