    Discord is a chat and the default setting of every server is that too see the content of it, you need to join the server.

    It make sense for a chat.

    However, companies and communities have largely misused discord and basically turned it in forums.

    Lots and lots of knowledge is spread on these chats with no way of finding it unless you know in which server to join and provided they do not shut down at some point.

    On top of that, the discord search feature is barebone at best.

    This is the problem with discord.

      There’s already a lot of knowledge everywhere, and nothing groundbreaking will stay confined within Discord (or any other private-mode social media website/interface/service). I don’t understand the argument from that perspective, sorry.

      I can see how some companies that aren’t Discord would be desperate to get their hands on the content generated there, especially to feed the hungry AIs. But, again, there’s plenty of public platforms to leech off of.
