I share the same skepticism about using GitHub Discussions. But Discourse would be a direct replacement for AskBot; it is widely used with the same user-facing, not developer-centric, role. I checked Discourse Group yesterday [https://www.discourse.org/features]. It seems to be a nice tool that many persons may like. I see it as a kind of sagemath related social network. I believe that people may use it to share stuff that they create, etc, maybe also for asking questions. But, it does not seem to be a "question based" website as it is currently the case for ask.sagemath.org. I am worried that questions asked there will get buried in the noise. Also who will care to answer questions on a daily basis? I frankly believe that the Karma on ask.sagemath.org works. On ask, if I personnaly want more Karma, which I do, I need to be the first to give an answer and it needs to be a good answer, etc. I don't feel this will happen on discourse. To summarize, I think Discourse looks great. I think it could be a nice way of developing a new community of SageMath users (in the spirit of http://planet.sagemath.org/?). But I don't think it may be a replacement for ask.sagemath.org or zulip.sagemath.org. Discourse, zulip and ask are three different things that are not meant to replace one another.
