>Reddit raped 4chan from the left and altchans raped 4chan from the right.
I may not have been the most avid lurker of the general state of the whole site(I only know a few handful of boards that well), but yeah, pretty much 4chan has experimented property damage because of its infamy. That fame gave popularity to attract normalfags, shills and paid volunteers on /pol/. Not to mention that kids believe a lot of memes they see from ironic shitposts to an unironic attitude.
Reddit has taken the familiar and meme part of it while alt chans, especially 8chan has raped it because of lack of freedom of speech and rebellion (alt right, Ddos moves, gamergate....)

A complete shitshow for the site, not to mention that Hiro has split the blue and red boards in two different URLs today.

>With Discord trying to rape everyone on top of that.
that affects /mlp/ as well, even if it has a minor effect in comparison to other boards. Even though that chatroom sells a lot of data and has questionable politics of service.

By the way, Discord is pic related as well and I think he sums up what you have said....
