No. It's just one of those fancy things PR project uses to interact with the modern cool kids™. However, I suppose you could have used the word 'official' in the meaning that of all Discord accounts (?) this one has actually anything to do with Gentoo. However, 'official method of communication' goes beyond that and this is plain wrong. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
