I'm a discord user. I'm in several servers. I'm even Nitro. ...and I'm probably not going to join your server to ask questions or get help. If I can't get help via your git platform or shoot off an email, I'm probably just going to not use the software. Gitter, for all it's flaws, is ok for this case. The effort to join is very low. Discord is a whole beast. Every server has a gauntlet to join with a dozen bots and channels, and then Discord over-notifies you for every message until you tune it down.

I guess it is a personal preference then. I don't think any project will stop you from posting questions on GitHub in their issues. I for one will happily answer questions in discord or GitHub issues. I don't know about others.

Although there are certainly some servers with gauntlets to join, I think that's only for some really huge ones that have scaling issues. I have no issue joining a Discord for technical assistance.
