Opensource Rails Project
If you are interested in contributing to open source and helping your local communities I'd recommend checking out human essentials a project that is helping over 3 million children a year and over 400k period supply recipients. Another great one is casa which is helping Court Appointed Special Advocates throughout the US -- an organization that serves foster youths. Both of these are 100% volunteer-run and supported and are provided to non-profits free of charge.

Jr Rails job
A while ago I had a little time and wanted to get involved. You can review what the goal is for each project, then review open issues to see if something resonates. They do a really good job tagging issues. See: https://github.com/rubyforgood/human-essentials/issues

Discord to Start Showing Ads for Gamers to Boost Revenue
> Tell me another platform that is free, has realtime chat, voice and video, has stable service, allows sharing images and other media, with good ownership management... and is open source.
Mattermost: https://mattermost.com/
Rocket.Chat: https://www.rocket.chat/
Nextcloud Talk: https://nextcloud.com/talk/
Self hosting and some assembly required. I've run all of them on cheap VPSes to explore a Slack/Discord replacement, neither was mindblowing but all of them seemed okay (Nextcloud's offering was rather barebones, though).
Audio and video support varies because getting those right is challenging, at best you'd just integrate with something like Jitsi, that one's actually pretty good for meetings and such: https://jitsi.org/ and has a cloud version too: https://meet.jit.si/ (yet people still go for Zoom and it's odd UI/UX choices)
I actually rather liked forums back in the day, but I guess nobody will be setting up that many phpBB instances in the current year, though projects like Discourse also seem promising: https://www.discourse.org/
I don't think many people at all will be leaving Discord, due to how entrenched the platform is (network effect): if you want people to help you with what you're working on, you go where they are, not vice versa.

My views on NeoHaskell
I disagree. Lots of communities, e.g. Julia or Stan, use https://www.discourse.org. Discourse is GPL2 and emulates old Internet forums.

Is BuddyPress still a viable option to create a community-based website? Or should I be looking at other options?
Why isn't Discourse being listed here for forum software? It's open source and designed for modern communities. https://www.discourse.org/

Don't Use Discord as a Forum
Discourse is open source: https://github.com/discourse/discourse
You could hook it up to a mail provider and can host it yourself for less if you wanted.

Why does the mastodon.social's privacy policy template link to Discourse's GitHub?
I was reading mastodon.social's privacy policy, and noticed that the link at the bottom to Discourse's privacy policy links to Discourse's Github. I'm surprised because I thought it would be the privacy policy on discourse.org.

Think Twice Before You Use Discord for Your Community
Yep. Any platform run by someone else can kick you off for any reason, and time.
You should consider looking into running discourse, which is a modernized forum software: https://github.com/discourse/discourse
Nice examples of what it looks like:
https://discourse.nixos.org/
https://forum.level1techs.com/
As a bonus, the content and community will be accessible to search engines, so it’s easy to find answers to problems that gave been already been addressed.
In general, consider combining the two, where discourse is the anchor of the community that can’t be yanked out from under you, while discord is the one that sells the data from your players in exchange for free voice and text chat.
It’s also possible to enable logging in with discord credentials https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-discord-login-for-dis...
As well as pushing content from discord to discourse so it’s not hidden and losable: https://blog.discourse.org/2021/05/discord-and-discourse-bet...
