The only real alternatives to Discord is Matrix and Revolt. I am on both and there are a good number of people on there but they aren't too active. Wish they would be more popular and widely used

I'm usually on the documenting side of things. If something like this starts unfolding, I produce text or HTML files anyway, they go on github/lab/whatever, and I wash my hands of what happens next.
In the end I write documentation mostly for myself. When the company can't figure things out over Discord or whatever ephemeral chat interface they use, I get called anyway.

Also, putting documentation in a format that has way too many features so just reading docs takes up 40% of CPU usage. Yes ,fuck you for using gitbook, i hate it so fucking much
I don't think GitHub is social enough or the right tool to address bugs, talk about issues, or completely missing - ask for expertise. It's not even democratic enough and done in such a way that makes what to work on clear at times.
Some code is still more art than work or science but still there is a notion that maybe if there was a better tool than GitHub there would be no need for a discord.
