Another option I think would work is possibly making the discord just a second forum lol. I am in a few discords that are totally 100% "forum mode" where you can't type in a general chat at all and you must make a forum post instead in a thread. discussion still happens but most of the bad actors who would usually ruin discords hate forum mode bc they cannot harass people as easy or target them.

I also propose just getting rid of a gen chat entirely because honestly the gen chat is fucking awful and people can just talk about Homestuck and Homestuck related media.
