A matrix chat would make a lot more sense than Discord, a centralized, closed source, for profit operation.
Unsurprisingly, there is already one: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org

The Jerboa app has a matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#jerboa-dev:matrix.org
So does lemmy itself: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy:matrix.org
Matrix is to discord, like what lemmy is to reddit.
Discord is really bad for technical discussions because information gets lost and isn't available outside of Discord. An open IRC server would be better suited for this.
Please just use a matrix room.
Use matrix. Discord is just as bad as Reddit.
but why? It's like jumping from the frying pan into the flames. Discord is corporate owned, has terrible privacy policies and can't be searched. The content is a nightmare to find and it's just a BAD idea all up. If people thought reddit was bad, just wait for the discord of the discordocolipse when it comes.
