Had you considered using a free platform alternative instead ?
Give this a try: https://riot.im/app/#/room/#qgis:matrix.org

NOTE: the riot.im link lets you join a Matrix room, which is a chat
      room served by an openly documented technology that anyone can
      deploy. The technology aims at being the definitive IM system,
      open source, distributed (federated), interfaceable. It allows
      bridging rooms from many different other technologies, as long as
      the tech owners allow that (Discord is not so easy to merge in)

I do understand this argument, thus I again recommend you Matrix,
having the aim of being the single communication site giving you
access to all the communities (IRC included).

May I suggest you to see if it is possible to bridge Discord to Matrix ?
You could ask this to the Discord admins (sorry, nobody else can help
but them..)
