And preventing any internet archiving so any and all information on it is lost whenever the server is deleted. It never should have been used for anything but game chat.
It’s the best at what it does…
Locking data away from search engines so that unless you’re in that little fiefdom you don’t get the information.

Probably that too, but specifically the ability to spin up a private space to communicate with people for things like video games. Anyone that’s using it as their means of customer service is an idiot.
Apparently I struck a chord with my post, so I’m curious what is better than discord, and free that made my statement controversial?

The fediverse not being searchable is one of the biggest flaws with it, and make it similarly ephemeral to Discord, except its actually worse because the sizes of communities are just in that goldilocks area of awfulness where there are echo chambers, and people are rude and toxic. Whatsmore, availability due to the small size is relatively mediocre.

Maybe people are spoiled? How the shit did we run communities and shit in the past? Bring back forums
