It's real-time chat. That's fundamentally different, philosophically, from the way a forum/wiki works.
You can cludge forum-like features into it with stickies and bots and yada yada yada... or you could just use a platform that is designed from the ground up to be a permanent knowledge store instead of extended, glorified AOL chatrooms.

Discourse is a forum software. Maybe you are mixing it up with something else like disqus?

I thought they were talking about Discord. Discourse should rename itself for its own sake. It’s easy to get it confused with the two junk.
