Yeah see that’s the sort of conclusive mindset that’s got us here. I don’t mean to insinuate you’re wrong for coming to that conclusion, but “It costs money or effort so let’s use a worse option because it’s convenient” is part of the reason we don’t have a lot of good solutions in this domain.
I’ll also admit the options these days are limited depending on your goals for a project. If you want to reach the most eyes and have the highest draw of potential contributors, having a discord server makes sense. My gripe is when technical discussion or support take place there.
When technical discussions and support is over Discord it doesn’t bother me too much, but when projects don’t accept issues anywhere but Discord then I get angry.
