Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects

This I don't know tbh, it might just be a network effect: everyone is used to Discord so everybody keeps using it.

Personally, I like forums for the same reason you like mailing lists.

Agree with regards to forums. I think hyperkitty [1] is probably the best of both worlds, i.e. a forum-like webinterface to mailinglists. Not sure why this is not used more often.
