Discord was simply evaluating its worth before going public. Been saying it for a while. They are not idiots to sell off their young golden goose.
These kind of news are purposely planted and tipped rumours to get the masses get talking about this stuff.
I am not as convinced that it is a golden goose. Stock markets are insane right now but I really doubt a publicly traded company can really survive with a single chat app (which can easily be copied btw). Same issue that zoom has. You either make some smart purchases or you die in the next ~2 years. Either way - would be interesting to see what happens and discuss it on matrix and the fediverse.
