We aren't in your timezones, so we're not going to join your Discords.
Timezones have nothing to do with my not joining Discord.
are you talking about large discords with 5k+ people or small discords with like 15 people?
That's okay, we'll just come say hi when we're awake during your timezone. Just don't answer the creepy guy asking how much oil reserves your country has.
Discord is surveillance capitalist garbage.
It's also a walled garden that excludes many peoples.

This article is about collaborative projects but many of the points apply universally.
To the people worried about losing the content of your channels, there is a chrome extension called Discrub that can get all the content and compress it for you.
Used it to transfer the stuff I posted (pics, memes, links to music videos) to my matrix.
I have heard there are "bridge" programs that transfer what's posted on discord to your matrix channel but I haven't found it yet.
I've only heard of bridges that are set up to enable, say, IRC and Discord channels to replicate to a Matrix channel, and vice versa. So we can have a conversation with you using Discord and me using Matrix, which appears to you as a Discord channel and appears to me as a Matrix room.
