I am fully aware why people go "Discord bad". But weak arguments like "you miss out on all the contributors that have too bad of a PC to run Discord" do not outweigh the fact that Discord is a million times better for building a community. You're suggesting to make the experience worse for 90% of people interested in a project to appease the <1%.

I wish it didn't have to be this way, but it is.

I see what you're saying. A similar comparison might be that that they don't use discord just like how we are here on lemmy instead of reddit. I'm guessing reddit has the 90% of people still.
