That may be true, but I use it exclusively to chat with friends and play games together like DnD. It’s sad communities that exist much better over text are migrating to it.

I don’t think there are many applications that I hate with more passion than discord and anybody who willingly chooses that garbage piece of software to further hide what used to be searchable forum content behind login walls and proprietary apis should be forced to search for a solution for a simple problem of their most beloved hobby all over hundreds of stupid discord channels for all eternity.

Stop seeing Discord as a forum, it is an IRC clone

He didn’t say he sees it as a forum. He means what used to go on forums, and became information easily found via search engine, is now being put on Discord.

Never did. Doesn’t change the fact that a lot of forums are now deserted and have a pinned post that points to a fucking discord.

It should be an IRC clone. Having the voice and screen sharing is also kinda nice.
Instead it’s IRC + MSN messenger + Ventrilo + Skype + TeamViewer + MegaShare + Wiki + Game server hosting + Forum and probably a few more I’m forgetting, and adding more bloat all the time.

Sure, your feelings make sense. But have you ever used MS Teams and MS SharePoint?

There are tools like Answer Overflow that try to make information on discord more easily discoverable from web searches.
