Discord brands itself as a "gamer" chat service but a lot of non-gaming wikis use it for communication too. Also, it's actually clearer and more transparent (at least in my opinion) than, say Threads, because although it's a 3rd-party service messages are fully searchable and has the convenience of IRC. Besides, the last thing most communities want is more rules governing what they can't do. If anything, forcing wikis to be cut off from the outside world and restricting communities flies in the face of wikis' philosophy more.
