I haven't been on the Eleuther Discord in a year or so but the last time I was there it was bustling and thriving on some really hard topics So while I'm not sure that the RWKV movement will see more widespread adoption than the corporate LLM implementation movement - I think there's probably still more goodness to come out of Eleuther community

What a shame that all that discussion is locked behind some app and not accessible on the public internet.

  Discord is a cancer. While I don’t understand the appeal, I’ve been around long enough to no longer be surprised by people sacrificing control of their information for trivial short term gain.

    Discord started out as a far better ventrilo/teamspeak/Skype for gamers but then larger communities started using it as their main "website"

    What do you mean? Making my private content accessible on the public internet is the opposite of control.

  As a user from the early internet forum era, I do find it a step back as well. But unfortunately, the people as large has kinda spoken, and voted by their usage. And ultimately for community engagement, their decision is something I have to accept as well. Better to have a messy growing discord with active users, then a forum with little to no engagement. For better search indexing, and making things more accessible, I help constantly move links / items from the discord into the more public github wiki : https://wiki.rwkv.com/ https://wiki.rwkv.com/ (PS: our discord is fully public for anyone to signup/access)
