And who, besides a wrongly informed or at least suboptimal terminology
using Gentoo unrelated website, has claimed that Discord is an official
communication channel?
I seriously doubt some of the other listed distributions over there use
Discord in any seriously official capacity either.
PR page lists it as an official social media account, whatever that
means. Probably what it is - social media under PR admin. Do you
consider facebook as official communication medium too?
