This is just wishful thinking.
All the alternatives have proven that they barely work too.
1. Dedicated forums - have you seen cesspools that are community.microsoft.com or apple support forums? Or few surviving audio forums, with those long taglines? Also searchability of those forums leaves to be desired too, as they rarely get to first page of google.
2. Stackoverflow quality has degraded severely in recent years. Both from perspectives of someone who wants to ask a question and someone who wants to answer it. Niche stackoverflows are still fine, but general programming ones are just shit, full of obsolete/old accepted answers that nobody cares to update to current year status
3. Get it done. It is obviously to be better healthy and rich than sick and poor
I grown into contrary view. Discords are fine. Based on my personal experience, at least the ones where I tried to find some help (QMK, Bambulab, bunch of gaming ones). The fact that same question is being asked again and again is fine. Somebody will answer it. Or not, and then the search for an answer will continue.
They significantly reduce friction to answer for somebody who is open to help. See example about stackoverflow above. I just left it, as I don't want to deal with mods there.
