I have only ever once used a Discord server (very briefly) so I don't know what
the advantages or disadvantages of that sort of thing are.

Aside from web-based services, the only 3rd-party thing I use is Telegram.

Concerning development of POV-Ray 4.0 / SDL 2.0, some of us have put forth the
possibility of using some sort of Project Management software in order to
organize and keep track of feature requests and progress on implementing key
tasks, as well as making sure that the time someone volunteers to work on
solutions can be chosen to be the most efficient by working on the highest
priority items.

I suggested doing this using Fossil, but that didn't seem to take off.

I don't have a server, and like I said, I don't know anything about Discord -
but if you or anyone you know can set one up, I would be more than happy to
create an account and see how it works.
