yeah discord is comfy but bloated and I rarely miss it.. something is heavier in the social feel it creates (I keep saying that people are ban-happy on discord, discord makes tiny realms, not freeform convo chans like on IRC)

Forums were 1000x better. You could actually browse most forums without logging in, and they were search indexable. I feel like there is a lot of information locked behind unsearchable discord that I will never see. If trying to build a community everything that goes to discord that could have been a forum post is tying your community to some company that makes messaging software instead of your own forum.

  Discourse forums can add integration to Discord.
