I've been wondering:
What is the genuine actual point in having any public communities or social media, if everyone just circlejerks in their discords anyway and doesn't want to socialize or interact with anyone outside their discord circles while gatekeeping anyone that isn't in their discord groups from even engaging in the public communities?
Anything they do on social media, is meant for the people inside their discord groups, so why don't they just stay and post in their discords?

Isn't it safe to assume that what they do isn't about the thing the community is about, but rather about the raw numbers and attention?

That isn't anime, and it's only the left one that looks a bit off. Silly goose.
