"Oh great, I'll have to create another fucking account" - me, already having some 300 accounts in my key-vault...

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make unless you're saying no one has to create a Discord account, or have to download an app, or have to find an invite to locate the server. My keys are auto-generated and auto-saved, simple 20 second process. Forums are also a lot easier to sign up for than Discord, if you're worried about making another account I don't know what to tell ya because every service requires it.

You set up a discord account once. When you want to join a project discord all you have to do is click the invite link and hit „accept“. Bam. Done. No need to join a forum. No need to keep track of another website and check if you got a personal message from someone or something. The benefit is that it is all one location.

I'd much rather have email for forums (Linux kernel style) than discord. I'll even take IRC

Should we tell him that he doesn't need more than 1 discord account?

I'm probably way out of the loop but from the perspective of devs getting to contribute, don't stuff like Discourse ship with "login with your Github account" already? Or Google, or Facebook, or...

~~Also, please, it's 1 click nowadays to make your browser remember your logins for you, if it comes down to laziness~~
