I was super interested up until the Discord link :(

They have a mirrored room on Element/Matrix as well but it's just the general chat and not the technical etc. sub-rooms. I quit Discord a while ago, probably for reasons similar to yours, and interact with the community using Element instead.

So much for punk and hacker cultures... discord is the windows of chat platforms :(
