As long as daily usage is not affected, I don't think this should be a problem.

Maybe this could be used as a way to pay mods/admins for their work as well.

I'm still using discord for basic party chat functions for my small group of friends. As long as that continues to work, I don't care at all about paid memes.

I generally hate that I have to go into other servers because indie games confuse a discord as being a replacement for forums and a wiki

For real. Crowdsec, a crowd sourced blocklist / basic IPS system doesnt really have a living forum. You ask question through unindexable discord threads.... so often times I cant just google an issue i am having with the app. I have to open up my damn Discord account while at work to get answers.

Its awful.
