Gregory's Server@malcircuit No, because forums do not serve the same purpose as they do not work the same way at all.
Closest equivalent is IRC chat, which last I checked does not have the same features and accessibility and is therefore significantly less usable (if at all) for community building purposes.
Unless IRC becomes easier to use and more advanced or someone makes a solid open source Discord clone with good UX we're stuck with this and any possible (admittedly not unlikely) future enshitification.
@malcircuit That being said, Discord is great for some things (mainly casual chat and sharing of cool links), but not everything.
Using it as repository for files or information instead of having a normal site is highly impractical. It should exist *alongside* websites, not replace them.
