That's been my experience too in the setup of the GTALUG discord server
(and others).

My own comms preference at this point would be:
- Getting our mailing list manageable again using existing tools (mailman
is fine)
- Re-thinking how we build and maintain the website (self-hosted wordpress,
anyone?)
- Using a Signal group or Mattermost (FOSS version of Slack) for those who
prefer chat over mail
- Ditch Discord
