hear ya loud and clear -- and we use multiple forms of communication.. GitHub issues and discussions are actively suggested when we find that a conversation is turning into something that would benefit others and move from Discord. Discord is really advantageous for us to have real-time conversations with people though.

Note to other maintainers: GitHub does have a nice Q+A feature. Use that, not Discord! https://github.com/features/discussions https://github.com/features/discussions

  Not really a real-time chat replacement thing, so it's not a suitable replacement.

    That's a feature. Promote discussions, not chit chat.

      we also like Discord _for_ the “chit chat” though. getting to know the community that’s growing around your project is one of the most enjoyable aspects of open source IMO!

My point is that people WILL use your Discord as a forum and it WILL accumulate valuable knowledge. This knowledge should be mirrored to the web so it's discoverable and archivable. And to do that you need consent - you should notify users now even if you don't implement it now.
