If any FOSS project maintainers see this, please stop using Discord for your community.
As a FOSS project maintainer, I provide a bridge between Discord and Matrix to give people the choice. Not everything he is comfortable with federated social media yet, and the Matrix federation specifically is not very stable.
I didn't make the reason for my request very clear. We need discussions to be archived and searchable from the internet. While Matrix is better than Discord when it comes to openness, it isn't much better in terms of searchability. Even the old Google groups were better. I would suggest something like Discourse (the forum).
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?
