You could roll your own equivalent but AnswerFlow has some nice features and handles issues around consent nicely.
If you're starting a Discord then I'd strongly recommend stating upfront that you might mirror content to another location even if you're not doing it now - it makes it a lot easier than doing so further down the line.
A better solution would be to not use Discord but friction, push-back from my colleagues on alternatives and a fear of fragmenting the community made this the best option for us.
The best solution might be not to use Discord in the first place but it does have familiarity in its favour (for some communities at least)
We also do maintain "proper" documentation but it's hard to capture everything and the Discord contains valuable content that's not recorded elsewhere.
Or at least mirror in the opposite direction. Keep your ‘primary’ communications on something open like XMPP MUCs, Matrix Spaces, IRC–or the likes of Zulip, Mattermost. If the chat flavor of the week changes, at least home base wasn’t ran by a megacorp that could rug pull & turn off the service like they do with sanctions, or just new paywalls.
