  It’s so there admins can communicate when the server is down. Would you rather they use Twitter?

        Why does it matter?

        joinmastodon.org/servers lists a lot of options.

    Don’t we already have a Matrix Channel for that? Even if they wanted a lemmy.world specific Space it’s still Far better than proprietary Discord. I mean isn’t it already encouraged to link Matrix for secure messaging, why not just use a Space on Matrix for lemmy.world support and communication.

    Why not use IRC in that case, like normal Internet persons?

  Discord is a chat program that usually devolves into garbage memes and off-topic nonsense instantly.

  This… Is somehow different from Lemmy other than the chat vs forum aspect?

    Are you asking me if night is different than day?
