What do you hate about discord, too chatty and ephemeral?

  Another comics creator, here: the fact it's a closed system unavailable to lurkers, on top of those things. Discord's great for some things (support-group kind of interactions that you don't necessarily want bared to the public), but it can create insular cliques real quick.

  That’s a good start. I like to work offline so I am always following up on conversations, never having one. BBSs are a ton more friendly to people who log on occasionally. Being corporate owned, with lots of obnoxious GAMERZZZ branding doesn’t help either. Oh and it being a web app that ships with it’s own memory-hungry and cpu-chewing browser is a nice touch too. Using Ripcord helps all but the “real-time chats suck” and “corporate owned fora suck” but those are still some pretty big sources of suck.
