Ok what are possible Discord alternatives?

@thedarktangent

Hasn't any good old forumsoftware always been a better alternative to Discord?

I have never understood why one, especially opensource projects, would put all their valuable data in a closed system like Discord, hidden from public search.

Look at Proxmox for example. Lots of searches for Debian/sysadmin related stuf land on their forum and that's part of why they are so popular imo.

@TomSeppert forum software is typically not realtime chat.

– reply to Michael Taggart's post, if you're interested. Thanks.

@grahamperrin @TomSeppert @thedarktangent I will note that Discourse has real-time chat, but it's not the primary mode. It's meant for backchannel/off-topic.
