I would actually go a step further and remove Gitter altogether!

Also I didn't check; I assume this is a non-expiring direct link to the #cats-effect channel?

I think it is not posible to link directly into a specific channel in Discord, it will redirect to the main Typelevel server and from there the user will have to go the the channel of its interest.
Also I believe this is a non expiring link, as I mentioned this is using the serverId, which should not change :)

Ah interesting! This must be a server setting, perhaps related to the CoC intercept stuff that the server is doing. I know for a fact that it's possible to link to specific channels in Discord invites, but perhaps that just doesn't work in our case. Either way, nice. :-)

Wait, I think it is possible, currently the link is incorrect as I just copy pasted it from shields.io.
Sorry abt that, let me address it...
It might be a good idea to link people to Discord now that Typelevel has its own server, the way the badge is created is by the server id
