@jack I didn't know what to make of it when I first signed in TBH. I had the same feeling w/ seeing Slack for the first time. I don't know if Discord does this, but what I liked about forums was you eventually built a searchable knowledge base of past discussions and information. Plus forums lent themselves to longer form posts and replies.

Of course a lot depends on how the Discord Admin sets things up and who the members are. Honestly I thought it might be like Mastodon until I clicked through. Heh.
