> If you need to contact us better, joining the osu! Discord server would be best

I really dislike how Discord is slowly eating up the web and being used as the primary channel for communication, when most of the community resources resides in their Discord, it makes it hard for me to find relevant information through the web thanks to Discords lock-in

Discord also has a kind of culture I don't love connecting to for misc environments. I'm sure most are fine, but I've joined software related discords where people are having oddly NSFW chats. They've always been in different channels, but why does this software project need a NSFW channel?

I think it's _too_ social for bug reports and questions. I'd prefer a forum or GitHub issues for that kind of thing.

Or maybe I'm just getting old.

osu! does have a very active github + active official forums, but I assume Joehu suggested Discord because messengers allow for quicker turnaround in cases where publicly documenting the issue and the resolution of it isn't necessary (which is the case here as the issue is on the Microsoft side of things)
