Discord sometimes randomly suspends accounts without providing any reason, and the support is usueless when it comes to account suspensions... Or anything really.
## Speculation on discord business model
Discord claims it doesn't sell user data but it doesn't make sense they stay afloat with just discord Nitro subscriptions. They received a lot of money from [investors](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/discord) over the year. Why investors give discord money is unclear. But what is clear is discord as the ability with its massive data gathering to sell valuable information, or use this datamining to produce statistical models for advertisement (like game recommendations).

# Alternatives
Finding alternatives for discord is hard because as said previously, a lot of communities moved to discord, it makes it hard to fully leave discord if you have friends or are part of communities there. But there are several alternatives to discord, at least for private messages with friends. Here are a few alternative I think are good.

## Matrix
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is to me the best alternative to discord. It is adequate both for direct messages and communities.
