I actually don't favor "per tool" or "per project". Just making an observation on why project owners are gravitating towards discord for their community. It is easier to setup than to setup a forum or something.
The issue with per project forum (instead of a discord type one login for all forums), is that it creates friction. For instance I have visited obsidian.md's forums a lot for things I need. Sometimes I have noticed someone asking something for which I know the answer, but then the pain of having to create an account and then answer that person, makes me just skip it.
The reason for discord communities to be active, is purely because there is no friction.
- Zababa 5y agoFor the login part, a "login with github" might partially solve this, though it doesn't solve people having to create and maintain a forum.
- sagaro 5y agoStill need to remember URLs and then visit them on regular basis. It it not a push system, more a pull system. Communities die that way, at least at initial stages.
