Please, for the love of all gods or none, if you're an open source project, DO NOT USE discord!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! There are multiple open source applications/services that you can use.

To those who want to have their software used by others:

Matrix/Element, Stoat, & Codeberg are the ways to go

In short, using Discord for your free software/open source (FOSS) software project is a very bad idea. Free software matters — that’s why you’re writing it, after all. Using Discord partitions your community on either side of a walled garden, with one side that’s willing to use the proprietary Discord client, and one side that isn’t. It sets up users who are passionate about free software — i.e. your most passionate contributors or potential contributors — as second-class citizens.

Stoat is the best Discord alternative. Also, Codeberg for Github alternative
