Please, pretty please, be the spark that will stop OSS projects from hosting their "support forums" on Discord.
IRC still supports most of the FOSS core.
More modern alternatives include Jitsi, Matrix and Simplex. Mumble also works well for voice.
Every time I see Simplex it reminds me of a virus.
Simplex is the most secure option available with the most resource intense client. I'm a fan, it's much newer so the code is less mature but they're comming along well, hitting roadmap targets, listening to the community and auditors.
