The problem with using Discord for FOSS projects for me is that there are hundreds or thousands of unread messages on a server. People are chatting in short messages and I just don't have time to read all this. Forum-like platforms as Discourse seems more readable for me and it can be indexed by google and other search platforms.

This is usually handled by having like an announcement channel so important messages don't get buried.

Chats can be indexed by Google as well, see Matrix and Gitter
