Discord is a disjointed mess that is being abused by many to fill a role it was never designed to fill.
No, I don't want to join your discord to use a half assed search to be able to dig my way through what you think is an FAQ about your game.
Yeah, it really bugs me that it's basically absorbed what used to be public forums and whatnot into its own proprietary bubble where search engines don't reach while not even being a good fit for that kind of thing to begin with
And every gamer and his dog have their own, so communities are adhoc and lackluster. It does the opposite of what forums used to do.
for real, my local rhythm games community is split among 3 different servers (that I know of) organising meet ups is a challenge nowadays
