Taggart's blog post was their opinion on Discord alternatives with an arbitrary ranking. Mine was about the whole notion of asking for alternatives to Discord being a bad question to ask. They're not really the same discussion. The only thing similar is the (truncated) title.
(Truncated because the actual title is On Discord Alternatives rather than merely "Discord Alternatives".)
I believe you that the articles were different in that way, but I looked over the comments pretty closely (well, closely-ish) before merging the threads, and the two HN discussions seemed indistinguishable topic-wise. Otherwise I wouldn't have merged them.
Sorry, I know it's annoying when your article is the one that 'loses' in a merge transaction. Hopefully we can eventually mitigate some of this with URL aggregation.

Dang, I think this might've been a mistake.

I'm not worried about "losing" in a merge transaction. I'm worried about causing confusion like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46990110 :)
Sorry I missed that!
There is no mistake.
