It's super easy, no maintenance, and free.

Every minute spent dealing with a chat server is one less minute working on your project, or spending time with your family.

This is best answer ever, I've always struggled to set up matrix/irc clients, and it always lived on cliff of the edge, I barely was able to use subset of the features.

With discord, I could use those time working on the project!!!

This.

And it saves all the history, which slack puts behind paywall.

Also, it has neat features like conferencing.

Some of the OSS I follow do nice QAs, presentations, etc on Discord, that just didn't happen or was unfriendly.

I've been on Zulip, Matrix, Libera and Freenode before, discord is simply easier for users and admins.
