    They likely mean because LLMs will scrape it hard and give the forum the hug of death. This is a real issue, but seriously fuck Discord. I have specifically excluded many potential solutions for both work and home because I saw that their support was done in Discord. I refuse to use it, and thus any project that makes it mandatory for support.
