I don't think such places need to be super inaccessible.

I am in a few Discords, and all of them are full of people who are even more aspy and weird than I am lol

They remind me of the PHP forums of yore.

One Discord I am thinking of here is focused on a video game, and the other major one that gives me that vibe is a functional programming Discord (I believe it's the one linked to from the Haskell subreddit).

We all expect the arrival of the great discord newsfeed bot now that investor money has dried up? Can't wait to go back to IRC. Discord is horrible in all the ways I despise. The only reason to go there is the people. And when it comes to people, I have hope, cause even meta can't own them..

The Haskell Discourse is also old internet-y to me. Just a forum where people talk. No targeted ads or nonsense.

I think we may be talking about 2 different things; I believe you are referring to this, correct? https://discourse.haskell.org/

I was talking about a Discord (https://discord.com/) server.

I should probably check out the Discourse more. Discord servers for communities like this become very hard to follow, and I feel like a good chunk of the questions people post in the Discord could be easily answered by an LLM.

Oh yes we are - I wasn't mixing them up! Just suggesting another internet place you might like :)
