I get why Discord ends up being the defacto place to put stuff around a community.
You start there because it's free text and voice chat. You use it to play games together, and then you need to start sharing news, so you make a channel for that.
Then you have stuff you want to distribute to people, and you already have discord, so, why pay for another service?
Resist this urge. Discord is not yours. It's Discord's, and that's okay for ephemeral text messages. Use it for that.
Own your stuff.
