That's largely reasonable!

I can get not wanting to use Discord for a particular reason if someone already isn't using Reddit, but I feel like if you use Reddit, you're running out of reasons to not also use Discord.

For the esoteric or specific questions, I guess that doesn't come up too regularly for me, and I struggle to understand how someone can have enough questions in say a week where the loss of Reddit access would severely hamper their ability to engage with the game. I'm not saying it's impossible either, but if it ends up being a specific question that wasn't already asked or you can't find on Reddit anyhow, your ability to ask in a Discord is about as effective as asking on Reddit (once again looping to the fact that if you use Reddit, I feel like your reasons to not use Discord are limited).

The only other thing I can think of static information for content that minimally changes but is commonly requested. That would be the purpose of older threads that you would look up and find, which is very much better served in some other format. While I understand the FFXIV wiki and Gamerescape aren't ideal due to the lack of these content, there's nothing to stop someone from putting info there rather than making a Reddit post.

I think the only thing that wouldn't fit in is the kind of informational blog posts that come up on occasions. For example, the one that sticks to memory is the person that dissects the dragon language as a conlang. It's more blog post than Wiki resource, and I would struggle to find a better alternative than a place like Reddit or similar short of a personal blog.
