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.

    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.
