Imagine being in a corporate environment trying to implement an OSS into your platform and having to tell your 50 yo teammate: "Oh yeah, just pop in this Discord server real quick to see any relevant info". Instant credibility loss

The loss of credibility is not because it's discord,. specifically.
It's because the project thinks a chat platform is an appropriate way to document a project. I would feel the same way if someone told me to get on IRC for docs, or Slack.
Matrix for example would be better.
