Would you mind adding a Discord channel that is text based (does not require a phone verified account) and free (users who gained and then lost access to the rest of the server by only subscribing for a short time)? From the server stats, it looks like around half the server is currently in time-out because their subscription was temporary. Also, there shouldn't be a spam issue since everyone there already got verified when they first subscribed to get the invite.
My hope was something simple like "FWYL general - free". The idea would be the same as what's here, but in the more pleasant Discord form instead of a forum thread style.
