While forums are definately broken, discussions are an incomplete product. Also, discussions load decently fine on computer, but on mobile it seems forum tends to load faster.

Anyways, while users need an easy place to start, they also need to start from somewhere they can learn. You cannot learn how to edit the wiki from discussions, though to be fair, you cannot learn much from article comments, you can still learn wikitext.

Next, how easy is it for users to move out from the medium they joined in? We need users to edit the wiki, right? Best place for them to start will be the closest to there, Article Comments, rather than the isolated Discussions.

And what I've been saying from the start, when you make your first comment, you get a notification on joining the wiki, which is helpful in exploring the wiki and the admins. You don't get notification for joining the wiki through discussions.
