Why are all these noobs asking repetitive questions? Maybe it's because Discord isn't indexed by search engines...
- cinntaile 4y agoStackOverflow is newbie hostile, Discord groups aren't. Guess what the result is. SEO code spam sites rank higher on Google than StackOverflow for the same issues, that isn't exactly helping.
- dancemethis 4y agoDiscord is downright user hostile, actively gathering massive amounts of sensitive user data and metadata.
- cinntaile 4y agoWe're talking about very different things. Most people don't really care about what you're talking about, it's only a tiny minority that concern themselves with what user data is being collected.
- Gigachad 4y agoI have been using stack overflow for 9 years and I still reread my post 5 times before submitting to see if anyone is going to freak out over it. And yet a lot of the time they still get closed or have someone comment “um technically you didn’t use the proper term for this so your question makes no sense.”
- pjc50 4y agoGenerally because they don't yet know what to ask. And half of what they're looking for is to be less lost: to have a human connection with someone making the struggle of learning less alone. That's why the most enthusiastic helpers of newbies are the recently-not-noobs. Who in turn enjoy having "their" space on discord to dispense wisdom from.
