Discord is amazing. Hands down best platform.

Sure, but it's not really the best solution for developement. A subreddit would be better for asking issues or reporting bugs imo since you have currently trending submissions on the frontpage (= many people have this problem or it's severe), flairs and rich markdown including images, code etc (i know that discord has basic markdown but I haven't seen anyone use it and the messages tend to be short).

> Bug report channels are chaos: developers and modders get flooded with complaints about bugs, then discussions of the bug, and then 10 more people reporting the same bug. If you've ever been annoyed by duplicate issue threads on Reddit or a forum, know that Discord is far worse.

And obviously you don't need to get a discord account and join the discord just to quickly check one thing

Reddit is so much less engaging. Like infinitely.

No, this is how most users feel. If you completely ignore free software philosophies, it’s hard to find anything as good as discord.

It's actually not. There are few other types of SW I enjoy using as much as discord.
