My only resistance to leaving discord is that it’s where 99% of my gaming communities are. There’s no way I’m convincing hundreds of people to move off to something I self host, or to self host themselves. It’s just not feasible.

Yeah I have the same issue.

With this kind of mentality, nobody will ever migrate and one will have to deal with Discord's horrible terms and conditions

The only alternative is to willingly leave over a hundred communities, some of which I have strong ties to, and never interact with the majority again.

That’s a big ask.
