I personally wouldn't touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.

If any FOSS project maintainers see this, please stop using Discord for your community.

What is your recommendation to use instead?

Matrix is one option, if you just want a chatroom, similar to IRC. An online forum, like Discourse (not discord) is even better, since it creates a searchable history of past discussions. That way, most users who face any issue with your software can solve it themselves based on past discussions.

Github/Gitlab/Gitea per repo and project issues?
