Yes well, this can be changed, it is not difficult to migrate the platform which the nim code repositories are hosted on, after all git was decentralised by design, if you really insist not using github there is always the option of mirroring the code to your own git repo and then cloning that, but you would have to submit changed through the git patch system through email.
Discord is a more difficult one, especially for newer programmers, a lot of them tend to be new to tech, so I do see why the nim team does use discord, as literally every normie these days uses discord and windows. However it is not difficult for you to set up your own nim communities on other platforms, especially using something like XMPP, which allows for federation, which means that anyone can access the channels without needing to worry about centralisation, maybe it might be official supported if you ask the nim team. Gravatar seems to be something the FOSS community keeps going towards, just because how simple it is to setup, the thing I do not get is why they couldn't store the profile pictures themselves, they already have to store tons of post data, a small profile picture is not difficult to store in the slightest. recaptcha is the standard for stopping botting, however its been bypassed numerous times, the developers seem to be trying to counter it but it is not always easy, a lesson every dev needs to learn is no matter how hard you try, AI is getting so smart these days that your efforts are futile, if people want to bot, they will! Google analytics is the one I don't get, for a FOSS programming language why the fuck has analytics been used? It makes no sense, the whole idea of a open language is to encorage open source projects, and sharing code, without a organisation "owning" the code you write, for example when google adopted java for Android, they had to pay oracle a shit ton of money for the right to use Java. Its a forums, why the hell do you need analytics, its almost useless, its for sharing knowledge not for pulling data from people, come on, this is a fix which is needed immediately!
