  I will never understand the move from forums to discord. when discord is the only way to get assistance, I go find another product.

    It’s easier to set up than a forum. I suppose. But messier.

    A forum is much better suited for the purpose a lot of people are using Discord for.

    They should be using Discord for voice chat and streaming, that’s what it’s good at. Use a fairly tool for what it does well. Not for what it does poorly.

    Discord is terrible for assistance.

    Search is ineffective, you have to actually fight the UI to go back to older messages, depending on the device there are still somehow cases in which you can’t go back to the beginning of a thread.

    Oh, you’re trying to scroll down through old posts? Let me suddenly refresh the list for no reason and bring you back to the most recent ones. Everything past the third screen might as well not exist anymore.

    And of course, there is the slight problem of every useful info written there being completely invisible to the rest of the internet.
