PHPBB:Reddit::AIM:Discord
The name of the app is Discord for crying out loud. Have you seen the kinds of things people are using it for? Discord is *wildly* hackable chat, not forum software. There's tons of crap being slung around on Discord that doesn't deserve to be archived because that's not the purpose.
Is IRC indexable or searchable? No. Usenet served that purpose. People hacked in query bots to IRC. At least Discord comes with built in search.
If you want a forum, go use forum software.
- mediaman 4y agoSure, but the problem is that so many communities are moving discussion around solving domain-specific problems to Discord. And the collective wealth of knowledge - some of which gets accumulated across decades - instead becomes an amnesiac experience where answering one person’s question provides no gain to the next person with the same question in a year’s time. I’m not sure why this move is happening.
- fny 4y agoExactly. This is a people problem not a software problem.
