It"s also a work thing. Discord was required for my job in 2021, so I had to join it then. It's used in a similar way to how Slack is used in some companies, though I've never worked anywhere that uses Slack. Since then I've joined many other Discord "servers", and have it installed on my phone. I find this very useful to keep track of what's going on in some fields, though I don't have time to participate much. At least two of those servers are essential to my current research software project. I couldn't do it without the information there. It's a great pity that public Discord channels are not generally archived on the web for search and reading, the way public mailing lists are.
