<p>I think one of the problems is that Discord and a mailing list
encourage different types of communication. So, it is not clear
that using something as Discord is gonna be a clear win. For
example, look at this page where they complain about it:
<a href="https://kotaku.com/please-stop-closing-forums-and-moving-people-to-discord-1847684851" target="_blank">https://kotaku.com/please-stop-closing-forums-and-moving-people-to-discord-1847684851</a></p>
<p>Being that true or not, my point is that it has to be a change
that needs to be considered carefully.<br>
</p>
<p>That being said, sometimes I wish I could just make a question
without having to create a new "conversation thread" (new email,
subject,etc), but previous attempts of using IRC for example have
not caught on, because the community is too small.<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>PD: I quote from link above:</p>
<p>"Discord is great for talking in the
moment. It’s a place for real-time conversations (or at lease
those a few hours old if they’re not as busy), a fancy way to
manage multiple chat rooms and voice comms, and if that’s what you
want—and millions of people around the world do, for loads of
needs and wants—then great!</p>
<p>Forums aren’t the same though. They’re
nothing like it. Forums are more deliberate, more considered, and
while they’re far from perfect—I’m sure you can post a billion
examples of people being neither deliberate nor considered on
forums—the point is that they’re more permanent. </p>
<p>Forums create a record, an archive we
can search through, so that whenever we want to revisit issues, or
find help with a problem, or see what was happening during a
certain time, we can do that. There’s a paper trail, and while
sometimes that leads to embarrassing takes on tv shows and game
reveals, other times it’s providing an enormous help with
technical issues or parts of a game you’re stuck on.</p>
<p>Discord simply can’t provide that. It’s a river running in
real-time, and while it does have search functions, the way the
whole app is structured means you’re simply never going to get the
same levels of detailed discussion or archived information as we
can get from forums. If places want to open a Discord and run that
as something <em>else</em>, then cool, but using it as a <em>replacement</em>
for forums is a disaster."<br>
