Don’t these arguments apply to all ‘flavors’ ?
Ok if this is the reason than I fully get it!
From the point of view of someone asking a question, I also find GitHub nicer — every Discourse instance requires its own account and dealing with the bot and so on. But I think I’m not alone in having a few forums where I scroll over the latest topics when I have a few minutes, and help out if I know an answer, or otherwise just learn things and press a few heart buttons here and there. I don’t feel that GitHub is conducive to that kind of “passive community presence”. But maybe that’s what Discord is for nowadays.
IMO the real problem here is keeping discord. It’s literally the worst platform to have any kind of forum or to get support, as issues en up buried in a non-indexable chat so people keep asking the same things over and over. I’ve solved many problems with my machine because there were topics here or issues on github, but discord has solved nothing for me and many other people. Not to mention the nonsense that is open source projects depending on closed software for gaming. General topics and support should move away from discord to discourse, and actual issues and bug reports to github.
The non-indexable part isn’t true for us. There’s a link to the answer overflow on the sidebar, our discord stuff has always been indexed onto the open web. I get google results for it all the time.
People do ask the same thing over and over again though, but that happens here as well. Ultimately this is why I now am investing time in ask.projectbluefin.io and provide a dedicated tool trained on the official documentation that can provide support for the chat crowd.
I mean sure, Discord may not have provided something useful for you but also there’s 20,000 people in there, I’m sure some of them are having a good time. 
I’m not sure why but I’d not noticed the indexed Discord discussions until you pointed it out. I didn’t even know that was possible. A form of banner blindness I suppose. I now wish all the Discord groups did that.
I don’t mind Discord as a gathering place. I pop in maybe weekly or bi-weekly. I share the detestation of trying to use it for tech support though. I can only think of 2 or 3 times ever that I’ve gotten help in the venue that matches what I can get relatively regularly on any other platform.
Can you share the URL for the RSS feed?
Thanks.
Ok last post here, I’ve toggled the read only mode:
