The chat was a missed opportunity for Fandom to attract new users. They should have made a unified chat, with channels for some communities. Competing face to face with Discord was not unreasonable, if they had put more desire into the project. But hey, they are technical decisions that we will have to get used to. Too bad they haven't seen the potential. I am very nostalgic about the chat, for all the moments I spent there in these 9 years, I still remember when it was released in 2011 and it looked very new with respect to that strange complement that was before. I understand why it is leaving, but I hope you can put a link to Discord in that same place, it would be very convenient. For me it was a new opportunity to use the chat functionality, since we will never be able to see Fandom functionalities again, I will have to get used to the changes from now on.
