Yes you wont have voice/vodeo chat for these but IMO that’s rarely useful anyway.
This is literally the only thing keeping me and many others using Discord at all. We have some no-mics in our group who use the channel chat feature extensively to communicate with people speaking. No, my 20 friends aren’t going to start using both a chat platform and a video platform separately. I don’t like Discord, but I don’t want to do that either.
I think that’s actually what discord should be used for. It’s one of the better platforms for voice/video/text chat. It’s mostly just when people use discord for what should be a public forum or wiki that it becomes a problem.
And sure, it’s not a great place for open source developers to do all their communication in, because being able to reference things in the future if a project lead closes the server is important. But it’s probably fine for coding sprints and meetings here and there as long as someone is taking notes to be documented elsewhere. Discord is arguably better than zoom for that use case.

For developers, sure, this makes more sense.
