No. Not at all. Many very popular OSS projects don't use Twitter or Discord. Any time you say "all OSS projects use technology X", be it GitHub or Twitter or whatever, the only thing you can be sure of is that the statement is wrong. Some projects may, sure, but that's different.
Probably the only "technology" you can say they generally use is a web page.
It is reasonable to say "they have 1 or more ways to interact, and that's clearly identified on their web page". But assuming that everyone uses the same communication mechanism is demonstrably false.
