I mean the service of discord is good, I use it too from time to time. But for building knowledge it is pretty bad. It is a black hole that sucks in all the content users have talked about. I see some startup developers exclusively using it and the numbers of their communities pretty much stagnate because they don't have a presence anywhere else. Reddit is also flawed but at least it can be indexed by crawlers. That offers a lot of advantages. Joining a new channel is quite a lot of work since you jump into discussions without context. There is a lot of loss on the way. As I said, IRC had the same problems but the scope was a lot smaller since it was always flanked by forums and other platforms. Within corporations with Slack and Teams there are similar effects. Yes, communication is effective but only on a very short term.
