Discord is a horrible echo chamber for gamers. It is responsible for many of the social contagion-based mental issues and political confusion of our youth and young adults.
Not only FOSS projects should stay away from it, but everyone else too. Don't let your children use it.

Mastodon is the same yet most people want that, smaller communities where they tagalong with others.
Agreed. Frankly, the chamber is itself a problem. The community is just a nicer name for a tribe you currently subscribe to. It is downright folksy. I don't automatically mind, but there is no reason to pretend otherwise.
What toxic communities did you follow to wind up with that take?
Join anything related to crypto. Openly scamming kids is very very common, not even counting the abysmal spam/scam protection for PMs. 100% echo chambers, all negativity is an instant ban.
