I've created a Crossplane server on Discord for us to play with in evaluating it. You can join it with this link: https://discord.gg/HqjZUVqz
I wasn't able to join that Discord @jeanduplessis, this is what happened:

Are others having having successful experiences trying to join? I wonder if there are settings that could make this process smoother, e.g. I don't think users would want to enter their phone number.
Hmm, I was already a Discord member and since I created the server I didn't experience any of that. It does feel like a lot. @jastang how was your experience signing up?
@jbw976 It says you joined. Did you make it in eventually?
Today we use Slack for community conversation. Unfortunately, due to the free plan restrictions, it isn't possible to access older messages, some of which are helpful and informative. The free plan only retains the last 10,000 messages.
A paid version of Slack is prohibitively expensive for a community of 10k users.
An alternative we should investigate is the use of Discord.
Tech communities have started using it instead of Slack due to its accessible pricing model – default usage is free. Paid plans allow individuals to upgrade if they want added features and do not rely on the server owner to carry the cost. While it originally gained popularity with the gamer community and was heavily optimized for that use case, it has become more focused on communication in general.
