While looking for Discord alternatives I came across this project which looks like a great alternative for the kinds of Discord servers centered around Open Source projects and organizations. Ones where live chat and voice rooms aren’t the focus.
It’s a combination of forums and knowledge base that would be perfect for this use case.
There is also a 3D spinning globe, so that too.
Once again, something that is absolutely not needed to explain what a forum software is and thus, should degrade gracefully. To a static png or something.
