Seems ironic for a project focused on access and preservation to adopt a closed messaging platform like Discord, that can and does lock people out on a whim.

I guess it might be a concession to reach as many gamers as possible. It's an unfortunate situation, though. Maybe when we've stopped the killing of games, we can turn our attention to freeing ourselves from Discord.

Discord is a bad place to put archived information that ought to be on a forum, but it's just fine for this use case.
