Between Reddit and Discord I don't know who did more damage. Forums were neat, especially because knowledge on it was permanent
I think that Discord's way worse. Not only it centralizes information, but also presents it in a unreadable way, and hides it from Google.
On Discord I never got a question answered. It just gets added to the list, then gets pushed out after a few seconds and it's gone. It's really bad. Imagine telling someone 10 years ago that most of discussion online would happen in private Skype group chats.
On Reddit there at least was a chance someone would answer your question after a few days.
