Pretty much everyone uses Discord now. It's not about forcing her, it's about using a chat program you use already. If you two happen to not use Discord to talk to each other surely there is some other app which you use to communicate with each other.
Errm. No. Not everyone uses Discord now. When making general statements like that it always helps to keep a bit of perspective: am I or am I not involved in a crowd that on average is more likely than other such crowds to be using piece of software 'x'?
At any one point in time 'everybody uses IRC', 'everbody uses ICQ', 'everybody uses Messenger' and so on would have all been equally false.
Almost everybody who is not a child in the developed world has a mobile phone. But not all of those are smartphones and there are still large numbers of people in the world who don't have any of this, nor do they have internet access (about 40% of the people, some because they are too young, some too old and some for other reasons), which is a pre-requisite for using something like discord.
By the time you're done with taking all this into account you end up with a paltry 140M MAU, a far cry from 'pretty much everyone'.

This statement is indicative of living in a bubble but being unaware that it exists.
