Use Bridges. If you still need to interact with people on legacy platforms, use bridges.
Matrix make it super easy to interact with people on Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. Set this up for yourself and you get to be the pioneer of the group who can lead them to a better way.
I don't want to self host a bunch of shit and spend a week troubleshooting stuff, no one wants to do that.
edit: plus that way you're still literally just using discord through a different UI, what's the point of it anyway
there's literally one person I ever knew that used Matrix and they fucking sucked
You don't need to self host, there are servers that do this for you
