I know how to use Discord. I admin a couple of servers. I know how to use its search and agree it's a pretty good search. I know how forum channels work. I still think it's a bad substitute for both documentation or a web-searchable forum. I can't use a web search to find results on Discord. I have to log in to a Discord server and use Discord's search so it's a separate set of steps from the web search I initially did when I started trying to solve my problem. Once I grudgingly jump through those hoops, if the server admins and users are actually using forum channels, I might find reasonably structured results, but they often aren't. When I have a technical issue with a software project, I would like proper docs, then a proper forum (Lemmy might be a good option as of summer 2023), in that order. Real-time chat, whether it's Discord, IRC, or Matrix is a distant third.
