Discord works just fine for most cases, but the existing LW discord is all but dead (or was, last time I looked), since it’s a separate entity and requires active competent admins and moderators. A button like “discuss this post live on Discord,” possibly with a few latest comments visible, would likely make a difference by removing a (non-trivial) inconvenience.
I don’t see a good reason to encourage people to comment on a post on Discord instead of commenting on it directly on LessWrong.
As far as having a space to interact via voice it seems like there the goal of having the garden become that place so it wouldn’t make sense to try to at the same time direct people on Discord for that purpose.
