Introducing the new Godot Forum
Nice! I kinda wish they went with https://flarum.org/ instead of discourse, though. I think Flarum is the better forum software and it is also open source.

Simple WYSIWYG html editor? Open source or cheap.
I've been playing around with a new open source forum called Flarum for my blog. It's a forum by nature but it has a blog extension and with some work you can get it to be just a blog that looks pretty nice. I just recently finished getting mine moved over (I rarely blog but here it is) - I'm not too sold on it yet either though so there's that.

Discord to Start Showing Ads for Gamers to Boost Revenue
> Tell me another platform that is free, has realtime chat, voice and video, has stable service, allows sharing images and other media, with good ownership management... and is open source.
Mattermost: https://mattermost.com/
Rocket.Chat: https://www.rocket.chat/
Nextcloud Talk: https://nextcloud.com/talk/
Self hosting and some assembly required. I've run all of them on cheap VPSes to explore a Slack/Discord replacement, neither was mindblowing but all of them seemed okay (Nextcloud's offering was rather barebones, though).
Audio and video support varies because getting those right is challenging, at best you'd just integrate with something like Jitsi, that one's actually pretty good for meetings and such: https://jitsi.org/ and has a cloud version too: https://meet.jit.si/ (yet people still go for Zoom and it's odd UI/UX choices)
I actually rather liked forums back in the day, but I guess nobody will be setting up that many phpBB instances in the current year, though projects like Discourse also seem promising: https://www.discourse.org/
I don't think many people at all will be leaving Discord, due to how entrenched the platform is (network effect): if you want people to help you with what you're working on, you go where they are, not vice versa.

My views on NeoHaskell
I disagree. Lots of communities, e.g. Julia or Stan, use https://www.discourse.org. Discourse is GPL2 and emulates old Internet forums.

Is BuddyPress still a viable option to create a community-based website? Or should I be looking at other options?
Why isn't Discourse being listed here for forum software? It's open source and designed for modern communities. https://www.discourse.org/
