no one orders or sorts their WhatsApp/Signal/whatever conversations by name.
That’s why those apps fail to create a sense of place and thus community like discord does. It’s a subtle difference, but it has a powerful psychological effect. People don’t spend all day hanging out with their family on Signal.

Most people aren’tlooking forsense of community in a chat. People spend all day hanging with family in whatever common option they have, not in discord.
