As a Discord user, I keep forgetting that I have Discord.

Personally, I can't figure discord out. It just doesn't make sense to me, so my vote would be no, for that reason.

Discord is great for a group of friends who want a place to chat, but it’s not great for public content.

I use it for voice chat with friends when playing online games but for anything else it just doesn't hit the same way. I can't see it being a replacement for reddit or lemmy for instance.

Every time I've ever had a discord in conjunction to a community, it has always drastically multiplied the moderation efforts. Discord is a black hole and not worth the time.

I'm not part of this specific community (yet) but I do have experience with this. It's awful and I don't recommend it from a moderation standpoint.

Good points, thanks!

As a gamedev I pretty much live in Discord, so I'd be happy to have a good sci-fi server to join. I could see it being good for more ongoing discussions around popular series.
