Some comparisons full of personal opinions:

GitHub 7.5B. This one has terrible UI is 100x easier than Discord from UI and engineering point of view and will open for disruption from Discord like team in the future. It's very easy to imagine much better GitHub. With Discord you can think of many cool features to add but that's about it. It is a pleasure to use and has fantastic UI.

Skype - 8.5B 10 years ago for a steaming pile of shit software.

LinkedIn - 26b for trivial (in comparison to Discord) software full of dark patterns people don't really like to use.

It might just be Microsoft best acquisition. Let's hope they leave the original team in charge and let them continue to work on it. Discord is exceptional but there are still many cool things that can be added to it.
