I am surprised that KQED got a $200,000 grant to open a Discord community.

Is there is a reason for that and what did that money got spent on?

    Perhaps best to provide some context first:

    The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, also known as the Knight Foundation, is an American non-profit foundation that provides grants for journalism, communities, and the arts.

    This suggests an obvious answer to your question. A Discord server is obviously not an optimal form of “community” but a form of community it is.
