Holy smoke!! I have so many old documents to read now. Does anyone want to form an ACM Cool Papers Club?

Everything older than about 20 years has been open access for some time so you should have started earlier!

No, unfortunately, it has not and still is not: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44729348

What an irony to celebrate open access on discord!

Can recommend some alternatives?

Discourse, mastodon, email... there are probably plenty of options. It's more missing a leader than it is missing a platform.

None of those are anything like Discord. Mastodon and email aren't even realtime and don't have a voice chat. When I asked for an alternative, I was asking for a suitable substitute for how Discord is actually used. Until the open-source community produces an actual viable alternative, people will continue to use Discord.
