i did a scan of my website to search for issues/ potential issues and this file path came up as a red flag. see below.

administrator/components/com_easydiscuss/includes/less/lib/Less/.easymin

is this a file that is bundles with the easydiscuss software... and if so, do i need to keep it?

i heard hidden files like this were not good practice for joomla. would you agree?

Thank you.
Yes, this file is included in the installer, we will see if possible to remove this file from the less compiler library in the future.

You mean the hidden files is something like file_bak, .file.xxx and etc?
If yes, i believe that is fine, the reason why those scanner show these file as red flag is because most likely this kind of file format do not run any functionality on the site.
