And if not, what’s stopping you from making one? Could someone encourage you to make one for it if they tried?

I've seen a few people shit talk discord without expanding, so I will: it's a proprietary "public space" that's not web searchable. I don't mind something like a community/subreddit oriented around a physical place, but I try to avoid supporting spaces that are owned by private capital. Of course that's nearly impossible, but there are degrees of enclosure.
