Everyone knows the enshittification of Discord is only a matter of time and that it is inevitable. Arguably, it has already started. I guess most people don´t care that much about participating in forums that are, for all practical purposes, essentially ephemeral. Not only is the search abysmally bad, we all know the data will vanish eventually. I genuinely think this is how people roll. The willingness to do something that can remain useful 20 years from now is relatively rare. Sometimes speaking about this topic to others, it's like they don't even acknowledge there's a problem to begin with.

> I guess most people don´t care that much about participating in forums that are, for all practical purposes, essentially ephemeral For me at least, chat in general is ephemeral - I don't care about history past the last couple hours - the same way as I don't record regular conversations with people and listen to them later. For this reason I'm much less concerned about vendor lockin with a chat solution than I would be with email or more forum type stuff - if Discord starts sucking I don't lose anything by moving to something new (assuming it sucks enough for the communities I'm in to move too).
