> why would I want to make a forum post asking for help, only to get a single response hours later, when I can chat with other users in real-time on Discord.

Because when someone else encounters the same issue, the answer there may help him as well. Just like surveying the opened issues may reveal problems about the project. It seems to me that every project that has opened a discord is suffering from stale or lack of documentation.

A group can use whatever it likes for collaboration, but pointing users to a discord server feels like being asked to first be initiated to the club, before having the privilege of receiving information. There is a strong aura of exclusion.

I suspect that people who prefer the instant feedback from a chat room also aren't interested in researching the questions first and therefore place no value on what can be found in research. There's such a high preference for instant feedback that people are choosing ChatGPT knowing that the information will not be correct in ways they cannot identify.
