Discord is such a terrible platform for large scale communication.
Nothing pisses me off more than looking for a support link and being told you have to go to a discord. It’s terrible to search, generally requires a bunch of hoops to jump through verifying you’re not a bot and almost never has the info you’re looking for anyways.
Plus Discord is a shitty company removing features from paid users (custom tags) and forcing changes to be more like Twitter.
Along with only having 100 slots available for non-Nitro users. Even with Nitro it’s 200.
Between social spaces and games I play (some with several servers just for different classes), I don’t have much space left for random topics. I’m clearly a heavy Discord user, but it is not the place for forums for all the reasons you listed too.

Oof, and since they pretty much require a valid cell number for each new account it’s not like you can have alts for certain topics.
And if you’re using vpn or anything to avoid censorship, there’s the nasty phone verification round waiting for you.
They’ve been known to do that shit totally randomly, too.
Don’t forget when you finally managed to find the invite link it is dead, so you have to try to find another one.
Discord is great for making servers for friends. That’s about where my use of it ends.
