Well, if you want publicly available discussions, I think a lemmy community would be well suited, since you can block people from posting or commenting stuff there, but block reading does not work. If you want that it is not public, I would say one of the most convenient and save places would be a matrix space. It is like discord just not a service, but a protocol (well matrix organisation does host an own instance) that allows having private e2e encrypted chat rooms and even video call using jitsi. I just fear, that getting people into the space is a bit more difficult compared to the invitation systems of discord using bots.
Sure, I understand Matrix fine. On the contrary, I don't get why people find it harder to switch to than Discord?
Well I have never created a space, it just now came to my mind that you could have the same setup as discord with public and private chats where new blood can write and get approved to join the private stuff 🤔 and thus I agree. It most likely just because many have a discord account and only few a account on a matrix instance
