    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.

      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

      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.
