    Discord is used a lot for gaming groups, modding, software development, and has largely replaced forums for lots of niche communities

      Which is unfortunate. Hiding projects, code and support behind discord is just wrong.

      There are Linux and open source communities on discord. I mean, just think about that for a second. These people have chosen to put their stuff on a platform that has refused to acknowledge the existence of their OS / development platform. Every other post on Reddit in the Linux community before I left was about some half assed discord workaround.
