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.

I wouldn’t do a mailing list these days, but as someone who spent the early part of my career interacting with devs that preferred this method, it’s actually pretty ergonomic by a 2005 standard. A message thread aware, text based email client that can turn messages into patches in a keystroke makes it actually pretty comparable to modern code review…
I think it’s hard for younger devs to get this because they’re used to email being stuck in a crappy, unthreaded browser interface or Outlook etc. (which are terrible for mailing lists) and most collaboration taking place in code review and chat platforms like Teams/Slack but for decades before these were feasible, email was the way…
It certainly beats Teams, Slack, or Discord. For a start, you have control over the messages and can actually search on them.
Matrix?
