I do agree that most communities should use forums instead because it's searchable by search engines and it's more organized. I'd also argue that search has gotten much worse not because of SEO spam, but because of communities going to chat, news & blog paywalls, and app-dominant social media. There's not much left for Google to actually crawl. That's why search results are so bad. Finally, I don't understand why Discord doesn't take advantage of this and create a search engine crawlable forum inside their app. They'd dominate search results and compete with Reddit. If I'm working there, this is what I would push for. Slack is focused on enterprise sales so it won't work for them. But Discord has no excuse.
