Discord.
Doesn't matter whose. They're all shit. They're not a substitute for forums for support yet everyone uses them as that. They breed power-tripping children (and man-children) who think they're super special because they mod some server. They're made for churning out drama. They aren't searchable from search engines. I mean they were made for GAMERS and then spread out to the rest of the toxic internet.
I do get your sentiment but discord has its place. It's nice for quick messaging. Forums are for well thought out discussions. Discord is where you would shitpost, have offtopic channels, link weird videos and memes in a quick and fast way.
