Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Zulip

    Zulip server and web application. Open-source team chat that helps teams stay productive and focused.

  • If more FOSS projects start using an alternative (matrix, for example), more users will be hesitant to use discord.

    I have more reasons, like Discord community usually end up in less meaningful discussion and have significantly less searchability than a form has -- but they are not really a big problem in a closed community.
