I don't really understand why everyone is in such a rush to use Discord now (or any other chat platform). It's about building a community, but you can still do the same on forums.

Sure, it's nice having near-instant feedback from other people, but at that point it's just turning into social media. I feel like forums provoke people to write more sophisticated, and better posts rather than on Discord.

My current workplace uses phpBB (lol) with a bit of GitHub discussion sprinkled in. I think it's great, much less cluttered than something like Slack.
