  I just want to be able to web search shit from forums like I used to be able to 10+ years ago.

    So sad to see things literally get worse for no good reason.

      “No good reason” homie you ever use a forum?

      Discord is so much better for real time conversations. The biggest problem is to the point of this thread, discoverability is non-existent, you have to join the discord to be able to search for what you need.

        Yeah but real time communication is not what this comment was about. The issues is that its being used as a social hub that replaces forums entirely. So when people ask questions about a topic they will do so in some shitty discord channel and the information (both question and answer) will be lost in the un-searchable, un-taggable, un-indexable discord black hole.

        Discord is only good for live conversation. Forums are good for information consolidation and general long term discussions about anything.
