Simple, because Discord is real-time chat.
Forums are way too slow and don't automatically load the new messages etc.
And beyond that Discord has group voice and screen sharing too. I use these features all time time in my communities to talk to and help other users.
I don't really understand how anyone thinks a forum is a viable alternative to Discord.
- culopatin 3y agoThe question was about replacing a Reddit subforum with a chat, not a discord chat with a forum. Reddit is a slow async platform, forums are too, I don’t see what part of the things you mention makes Discord a no brainer.
