You nailed it.
Comment on Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 months agoSeriously. I hate discord. Its fine for you and friends fucking about and gaming on a saturday night.
but its been turned into an alternative to webforums. Where you have to go to get support and answers. Outside of where a websearch can index and archive.
Discord will eventually lead to a massive, catastrophic loss of information that will be unindexed, unarchived, and unrecoverable.

Ya this is true and that sucks and I don’t see a way to change it. Would be nice to go back to get all this info back on forms

Back on forums so its indexable, so you can find the solution if you have the same problem.

It takes seconds to ask a question and receive an answer in discord. It’s entirely likely that my problem was never discussed on a forum post from 10 years ago with 15 pages to sift through.

Jup, it’s terrible. Where information goes to die. I wish devs would not use it as much as they do.
