Aside: trapping information in proprietary silos like Discord and TikTok only breaks the web more. Both require phones/phone numbers to participate. Both ostensibly track users' every move. Even just passively accessing these services normalizes internet communities dying and valuable information being lost forever in a deluge of memes.

Not even an aside. It actively makes this project uninteresting for anyone who doesn't like to use discord.

Valuable information for me

You can use github repos to communicate just fine and no one is requiring usage of discord lol.
Discord requires a phone mumber?
sorry, but what internet community are we talking about, Usenet?
