With every passing day I basically think this is going to be the future of the internet. Many disparate private/semi-private groups while the "public" internet becomes overloaded with AI slop.
It's largely already happening in places like Discord.
I think the first company that can capture what Discord has but is not wrapped in that "gamer aesthetic" ui/ux is going to do really well.

And eventually someone is going to come up with a search engine for Discord, and the cycle will start all over.
Discord could probably become the new internet if they introduced a URN scheme and permitted folks to host web pages.
Discord is becoming a bloated slop fest. It has literally been implicated at times for bad gaming performance [1]. Remember when it used to just be a chat app? And don't get me started on its "quests" system, which may burst your ideal internet bubble. [2]

Guess what tools would be used the most to write content for those web pages.
