One should write a comparison of Discourse and Discord in [Comparison - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/c/praise/comparison/63). I’m surprised nobody has done it.

They are very different and also one is primarily a forum and the other primarily a chat, but they share features nonetheless and the similarity in their name might lead people to explore how they differ from one another 😄
