Discord has been an excellent alternative to Chat (Chat was really starting to bother me with how buggy it can be at times). Everyone who frequently went into Chat has now migrated over to the Discord. It's easy to moderate and assign users to moderation roles. You can create any type of role and give them whatever permissions you see fit. Here is an example of what roles we have at the TLH Discord, along with what Chat Mods are able to do. All roles on Discord were given to the users who have their respective position at the wiki (for example, I'd be an Admin on the Discord server).

Moderation aside, Discord has a more defined private messaging system than chat. You can send messages to someone you don't share a server with, and they don't need to be online to send the message. Text on Discord is also an improvement. It's much easier to attach images and links to a message (both of which can be disabled for certain roles if you'd like). You can also go back and read through messages that were made while you were away unlike Chat. Something that isn't too popular among our Discord server is the voice chat. A few users like it, so it's a nice addition I guess for those that like to actually talk instead of text. You can also bring in Bots over to your server pretty easily. Some Bots are capable of having administrator permissions, while others can be used to play music in the voice channels like ErisBot. Overall I find Discord to be a huge improvement over the Wiki's Chat.
