Fandom doesn't exist on discord only; it's just where folks tend to create closed communities that don't have the toxic folks in there.
I'm active on tumblr (Was active on twitter, but I abandoned twitter bc of how bad it is for artists now), and I still post/reblog etc. Because of tumblr, I found a closed server that is a community for folks that get hate for liking Billy Hargrove.
It's nice to have a closed server because the loud minority that fill his tags with hate aren't in it. We can talk, share writing, art, headcanons etc without having assholes sending us death threats.
Fandom exists everywhere, it's just that discord is becoming a safer place to talk with like-minded folks.
