“Best platform for developer communities. Bots API is powerful. The fact that it's free for communities is unbeatable.”
“Search is still mediocre and discoverability is poor, but for community building there's nothing better at this price point.”
“Discord is becoming the default social layer for internet-native communities. Their Activities platform hints at bigger ambitions.”
