Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything?
EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months agoBut the bigger issue appears when you don’t have a clear place to go. It’s like we’ve gone back to before written records were common. Once that server goes and the people scatter, that information might as well never have existed. 5 years after Discord disappears, the only knowledge people will be able to find of it will be a handful of old messages complaining about some dude who scammed a bunch of people with low quality iron Doge coin.

I get it, it is a problem. But I just wanted to up the mood by saying that “you can get the info”. ig I just made ppl mad :/

I can’t see downvotes, but I imagine that people just took it as you disagreeing and saying that it’s not a problem.
I was thinking of stuff that’s super niche anyways, like if you’re trying to keep a program running that your company’s database relies on that hasn’t been supported since Windows 95 or something absurd like that. For most stuff, it’s still possible to find at least somebody with an answer, even if you have to go to a Discord server for it. But when nobody has documented stuff that’s super obscure? Good luck!
