We recently had a guy try to get our local GNU/Linux User Group to move our communication to Discord because he found email too difficult.

That's most definitely the wrong tool (discord is not for async) and the other end of the spectrum. Or did you maybe misunderstand him saying "discourse"? That would make much more sense as a mailing list replacement.

Or they were straight up meme'ing.

@onlinepersona no, it was definitely Discord, and he definitely was of the opinion that it was easier to find old discussions in Discord than email.
