npub1lamsu5lmftmf79tkumd0lae40002d6gvumlgl7plvwhn4q7nu5xsxfwlxx (npub1lam…wlxx) We definitely need a forum software that's as easy to use, spin up, and moderate as Discord. Right now, you have to have a sysadmin on board or pay a fee you might not be able to afford (especially in open source) to set up a forum; plus, a lot of the younger (gen alpha, younger gen Z) crowd doesn't know how to use a forum.
For open source downloads, why anyone would use Discord over GitHub for releases is anyone's guess. (Putting testing builds there is acceptable, but definitely not preferred.)
Hell, GitHub Discussions is a thing. It would be better to put support there! I think the pull of Discord though, is in part that most people already have it so you don't have to make a new account for it.
I wish GitHub didn't buy Spectrum.chat and they actually made it usably fast. That was pretty much a forum in a Discord style, and it was -- apart from being painfully slow -- really nice to use, and publicly accessible and searchable too.
