the main problem here is that they can't distract themselves from the pressure of the conversation
usually people get to bond with each other while doing something together, it could be playing a game or eating stuff, anything that can make them interact and have something in common to talk about
here they are just talking on discord with the pressure of +20k watching them and expecting them to be entertaining. this situation is not ideal at all, give them some time i'm sure they can become friends.
