There are some bad discords out there, but advertising to make sure that FC members are not all on discord speaks of bias based on personal experience. Discord is not bad. You can have just as much drama and problems without discord. Other than that, the rest of this point is correct.
From personal experience, an FC that's always chatting on Discord means anyone who isn't using it is left out of most of the conversation. It is biased, but people should advertise what kind of FC they are. If they're always going to be on Discord, someone who isn't won't find it very welcoming.

Anyway, this whole thread will just fall on deaf ears. The people who are doing blind invites and such are just going to keep doing it, because they're just casting a wide net. Quantity over quality, and keeping whatever sticks. It can be an effective method of recruiting, but not one that I'm fond of.
