Yeah, it was immediately clear based on the scoring that he was super biased toward Discourse. It's not a Discord alternative, and had no place in that list at all.

I mean, it certainly is an alternative to all three morons using discord as some sort of forum for an app or similar. The same way discord is the worst for easily searchable info like a forum is basically the converse for discourse. And exactly the opposite for real time chat obviously.

He at least mentions outright it's a forum tool. The real problem is having to include it because people misuse discord.

Kind of like anyone using SharePoint for anything. It's not meant for it.
