The thing that I hate about discord as a replacement for forums is that it is completely closed off from the outside world. There's no searching it except from within discord. You have to join the server to even try, and discord's search sucks. It's an informational black hole that contributes nothing to the larger internet.
In some cases, like threads, there's no searching within Discord either. And let's say you find someone asking your same question, right? They don't list the replies the way 4chan does, so you're stuck manually scrolling and reading and hoping someone said something relevant. I like Discord just fine for certain applications, but why did everyone decide to use it for everything??
Also, I can't PM people unless I'm friends with them or we share a common server. What is that? There's literally no privacy option to let me chat with people without also accepting them into my friends, a group which obviously has more permissions than strangers. ???
Also, also, I can't ever find a Discord server for something I'm interested in. I have to go to Reddit to find a thread containing a Discord link. ????? why
The worst thing is archival sites cant get them.
