>Whether if discord/IRC really harms sites, that we used to have an active discord server (that I repurposed into notifications-only until it getting b&), or how Heyuri has promoted usage of off-site Discord/IRC places until I became admin aside (since they are all different topics)

Whether or not it harmed the site? That is up for debate? As a post notification server I am sure it was fine, but it was also the breeding ground for off site drama and slapfights, thats how the whole akima and kuz and lolico mess started, and thats why you repurposed it, isnt it?
