If we want to play this "discord vs the /wsg/ threads" game again, there's only one pertinent question: Would we have gotten the good edits made by discordniggers without the Bonbi Discord server (and the tumult which resulted from it) having ever existed? Yes. Those people existed and found inspiration in Bonbi regardless of that server.
At least one of the DNs (CIA man, who was also "Fact Anon" in the threads in the earliest days if memory serves) maintained at least one of the MEGA packs for a long time. I remember him passing off the maintenance of it to someone else when he was finally tired of everything. He seemed a decent guy.
Having said that, and even when setting aside the worst and most obvious problems like Anon1725/Seth and his groomer quest, the foremost contribution of the average Discordnigger was discord. We had a lot of talks about it back in the day:
> those who desperately want some social interactions - prying on the socially inept, leading to a server of circlejerking freaks that create their own hierarchy of who to follow or who shoots their load the farthest. I mean, if you're supporting the soliciting of fraternising with troubled kiddos then just say you do - no need to hide behind some moral motte...
The app, the privacy it provides, the people it attracts, having a name attached to what you say, all provides fertile ground for problems ranging from immature high school politics to grooming kids. In discord these people have a name attached to their posts, so of course the anonymous format of 4chan provided them with a good way to vent what they didn't want to say there. Throw the two formats together and you have a guaranteed dumpster fire.
The bottom line is that the Discord (which was created by Seth in the hope of getting in contact with Bonbi, under the pretext of being a "fan server") could have never existed and nothing of value would have been lost, while the vast majority of the bad would never have happened.
