Great question - I think it depends on the audience and where they’ll hang out

@maxwellcdavis true. I've asked my audience. (LinkedIn) and they got a mixed answer. One prefers Discord, Whatsapp, a Dedicated website, etc.
Hey Edgars, it totally depends on your ask and your audience.
At the start, something like Discord or Twitter could do the job. Eventually, you might want to switch to a comprehensive white-labeled community application like Circle, Wylo, etc. It lets you do a myriad of things from driving discussions to hosting events, and so on - all in your branding at ease.
Btw, I'm one of the people behind Wylo. And what sets us apart is our better user experience and high customizability.
If you are curious to know more, I'm happy to connect!

Is it easy to control?
Usually, having too many channels leads to chaos.
Additionally, some of the audience do not prefer to use Discord.
What alternative would you suggest?
The choice of platform depends on whether you want to build a private community focused on a business objective or a public community depends.
Public communities can be built on large social media platforms such as Twitter (now has a new feature called communities), WhatsApp, face book, LinkedIn etc.
However, if you want to build a private community and keep it separate from the large tech companies with more control over your data tools such as collude.cloud could be much better. Use cases for such a product user group, business chamber network, school parents community, alumni network, employees social network as such private social network use cases.
