The things that I can think of:

- More people get notified immediately on Discord, and then everyone chimes in. When I star a repo I don't get notified when anyone opens a new issue. It becomes even more of a community effort to find solutions.

- It's much easier to use a single account for multiple purposes. If everything is on Discord, then a single account is all you need (vs a separate account for GitHub, GitLab, random bulletin boards, etc.)

You can customize your repository notifications in a granular way, including subscribing to issues (Watch > Custom > Issues), discussions, releases, etc.

This is the primary method I use to track OSS releases. More in the GitHub docs:

But people don't do that. Pretty much only the maintainer(s) of a project opt in to be notified of issues on GH. On Discord, by default the channel lights up if a channel has new messages.
