    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.

      It takes seconds to ask a question and receive an answer in discord. It’s entirely likely that my problem was never discussed on a forum post from 10 years ago with 15 pages to sift through.

        It takes seconds to ask a question and receieve an answer on a webforum to.

        for the same reasons. The person was sitting there and can reply immediately.

        and you dont get an instant reply for the same reason.

        the person wasnt sitting there.
