for many years I was prejudiced against #discord, thinking it was a gamer’s environment
I always looked to Slack when it came to real-time communication for business/foss
well, I’ve been positively surprised by discord for communicating with the foss project community

Discord is fine right now, but at any point it can decide to destroy what makes it good, and many communities will stick with it through inertia. I’d recommend setting up matrix with a discord bridge for the communities you don’t have control over, while trying to convince admins to switch to matrix when you can. Having a matrix account/server will also be helpful if you decide to join one of the many foss projects that uses matrix for their communications.
