      • Bot to grant access has been disabled, so people can instantly get access to Discord. Will wait and see if this causes a lot of spam.
      • Chris B will talk with people on IRC about removing IRC links from website
      • TODO: Kristof will look at “badges” for discord and discourse to make it more obvious those are our preferred communication channels
