Discord seems like it's functionally just IRC with an easier-to-use frontend. Which, fair enough, some people like IRC. I've never really figured out how to get into it (as a social platform, I mean, not technologically). Twitter, I think you just have to accept that you're going to miss a bunch of stuff, but I think you can accept that and still get a lot of value out of the platform.

WRT Pillowfort and stuff like that, it always seems to me like those things always fail because people just aren't going to move away from old platforms unless the new platform offers something substantially better, in terms of the basic capabilities it provides. So just cloning old platforms doesn't work.

I agree. Also, this makes me think of that Folding Ideas yt video about why other video platforms fail to replace yt. Have you seen it?

His production values are low, but he's hella smart. Maybe the smartest media-commentary youtuber I follow.

I used to love IRC, but I like interacting with fandom (and everyone) on my own time/terms now, and being able to see art, fic. etc. without having to be online at a certain time.

There's a discord for my fandom, Pillowfort, Twitter, and Tumblr, but I mainly go to a few Tumblrs in particular that are known for their meta rather than reading my dash, tbh.
