I see it's once again time to post this: https://taggart-tech.com/discord-alternatives
Discord Alternatives, Ranked

Building an online community takes more than tools. But the right tool can make all the difference.

@mttaggart one major concern I have with Discourse is how loudly pro-AI they are. Billing OpenAI as a major customer, pushing for "AI leaders", and their AI bot integration

That's probably worth reevaluating their security over

@airakose My instance has no AI to speak of. I don't really see how one implies the other.

@mttaggart @airakose

I'm on a Discourse forum that is very anit-AI. All AI features are behind an admin switch. I agree the devs are super pro-ai. But they are keeping is siloed.
