Community
The main place where the community gathers is our Discord server. Feel free to join there to ask questions, help out others, share cool things you created with Typst, or just to chat. - hand on gear shift zoomed in, switching to reverse

I think discord is primarily just useful for voice chat, yes.
But:
Yeah, no. Proprietary, sure, but you can say that about almost communication mechanism that's not a website with an API. It's not like people would otherwise be posting these things somewhere else if discord didn't exist. If it wasn't discord it'd be slack or something. Discord is an entirely different medium and complaining that it isn't a forum is just not a legitimate argument. They're entirely different things.
They are entirely different things, but people are using it where they should be using a forum or similar solution due to its easy of use and popularity culture wise.
That doesn't negate the reason why it's hated.
Matrix, for example, is an open protocol for real-time messaging.
Why are people choosing to chat in some random meme spam for actual info instead of making a reddit/forum/something indexable post like everyone always used to is what ppl don't get
