Seriously. I hate discord. Its fine for you and friends fucking about and gaming on a saturday night.

but its been turned into an alternative to webforums. Where you have to go to get support and answers. Outside of where a websearch can index and archive.

Discord will eventually lead to a massive, catastrophic loss of information that will be unindexed, unarchived, and unrecoverable.

Jup, it's terrible. Where information goes to die. I wish devs would not use it as much as they do.

You nailed it.

Ya this is true and that sucks and I don't see a way to change it. Would be nice to go back to get all this info back on forms

[–] A_Random_Idiot 15 points 11 months ago

Back on forums so its indexable, so you can find the solution if you have the same problem.

Don't even get me started on people actively chatting in public discord servers
