While I completely agree that Discord could be an invaluable resource, if it were maintained by professionals or staffers, it currently is not.

The current Discord channel used by some in the community is treated as defacto official but is not inclusive; is controlled by a couple of people who are largely inactive or favor certain communities; are treated as official by some staffers when it's convenient but act like they never heard of it when it's not, etc.

In it's current state the Wikia/Fandom discord server is just a place to forum shop and Fandom staff should consider shutting it down and starting a proper one that all of the Fandom community has access to.
