  It’s nothing like Discord. It’s just the ability to create a post to a wall, include images, and have people be able to comment. Then you can filter between posts of the YT creator or the rest.

  Discord uses dedicated announcement channels, roles, personalisation, hierarchical permissions and a bunch of external apps to be able to create and sustain a community.

  But the biggest difference? Discord is instant chat. This is just YouTube comments with attachments that you can post to the channel instead of a video. Meh.
