No. The appeal of HN is that I can jump in when something is compiling, type in comments so fast that I break keyboards and then jump out.
There is nothing I dread more than "come to our Discord for support" for many reasons, but live chat just doesn't scale. One boorish person can deprive everybody else of use the room, there is usually some lifeless loser hanging out in the chat room to introduce themselves to newbies when nobody else is doing so (I have been that guy), and sexual harassment becomes an absolutely pervasive problem in a simulated VR environment.
