i've stayed away from the discord stuff due to old man syndrome but it really looks like its inevitable. You guys are bros man.

Still think there should be ONE major official discord and a backup.

It's not too bad to learn. I first joined discord because I was playing an MMO and the guild I joined made joining their discord a requirement (made coordinating raids and things easier).

It's mostly an assortment of chatrooms, similar to being in a group text. You can use animated emojis, gifs etc., much easier than you can on gamefaqs. You can also quote the message you're replying to, leave reaction emojis in response to a post, etc. And the mods can sticky posts if there's info that needs to be referenced often. It's really customizable too

(Can you tell I like discord? Lol)

I'm not a huge fan of Discord. I do want to chime in and say though that I agree with others that there should just be 1 main discord.

My piece is that channel proliferation is quite a balancing act on Discord. Based on seeing many discords die. I recommend starting slim and when one type of conversation overwhelms the General, it can get a dedicated channel. "Pre-planning" often ends up with a lot of dead channels, which isn't the end of the world since you can close them obviously, but I've seen it often contribute to "channel policing" cultures in such discords, which ultimately lowers engagement and retention.

What keeps discords alive is feeling like you can comfortably 'hop in'. Discord is very momentum based so when a channel doesn't see a lot of activity, people tend to feel less comfortable attempting to start a conversation in it. While GameFAQs has the topic system which acts like a declaration to initiate conversation, discord channels function more like group chat DMs. Discord does have the "threads" system but in my experience users don't take to it.

I guess another recommendation that I have is to maybe separate super specific things from others.
For example, I have a channel that is exclusively for girls, a separate one for guys, a separate one for futa etc.
It can get a bit overwhelming, but it may be worth considering

Servers with only a few channels are a pain to read through; I'd rather there be too many than too few.

I strongly recommend you to use either Matrix or Revolt not Discord, mainly because Discord uses AI for server scans triggered by reports, meaning you have a political channel that has serveral blacklisted triggerwords, somebody reports the server for fun and hits the report threshold, AI finds those triggerwords and closes the server+bans the owner in the process.

I've seen several discord servers getting banned even for reasons like "Fraud" when the blacklisted keywords were literally only in linked articles. Good recent example would be the XZ backdoor.
Articles have the keyword "backdoor", "Remote Code Execution" and even the names of the infected files. The AI discord uses detects several red flags and marks the server as a blackhat hacking server dedicated to commit fraud.

If it's based on keywords, moderators could block messages with those with the Block Custom Words option.

I can honestly say that the Discord server I'm part of is currently Tails-free.
