Never really used discord in the first place. I tried to join a few support threads for random gizmos that had no forums but realized that its a terrible place for support compared to forums. The whole UI was just chaotic to me as well.
downvotted for saying the true, every software community should be OFF discord and setup a forum
It is bizarre how they all fled reddit when they got greedy, so ran off and set up on Discord instead. So now you get a procession of users with the same 4 questions over and over.
I find it impossible to use for anything that involves historical / old information.
It's all live chat it seems, so if someone asked a question on how to do X within Y 8 months ago and that's what you are trying to find the answer to as well, it's practically impossible to find so you have to ask it again and hope someone is around with the answer.
It's a place that's only useful for live discussions on recent topics, which is quite limited in use.
