Discord is worse than Reddit (even post enshittification reddit) for anything other than chatting. You can’t view a Discord without an account, Discords aren’t indexed by search engines or protected by google cache / archive.org, Discord’s API usage policy is even more restrictive than Reddit’s new one (it’s completely against the TOS to create third party discord clients at all)…
Being able to look at the historical threads on a subreddit like hardwareswap is really important for learning the value of what you have. A format where every offer gets its own collapsible conversation thread is much better than every negotiator popping up in sequence.
Yup, agreed. Discord is only good for chatting. I do not find Discord to be a good place to share information or to even use their ‘forum’ channel option.

Discord is fine for Voice Chatting. But it’s not very good for large communities and looking up old (but good) content.

And you only get limited servers per account. And archive.org coverage is important since thats the one location that we can rely on for old data
