New generations of devs / manager decide to use "the current tool" to connect with their users. Too bad they also think it a good idea to nuke the older channels.
- sirtaj 2y agoThis time, the "current tool" doesn't allow searching via the web. Most discord forums I'm on are basically black holes in which questions keep getting repeated.
- reddalo 2y agoExactly, it doesn't even help the owners themselves, because people will keep asking the same things over and over again. It's not like a forum where you can easily search by topic.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoThe owners do not care as much, because they're not the ones who answer the questions - a cadre of "volunteers" do.
- yieldcrv 2y agoI’ve launched projects that became bigger and discord is just kind of expected when building from the ground up and great for corralling a community I mentally categorize larger established organizations as something different but logically I can’t really see the difference, so I understand why I also understand the negatives of that particular platform for getting information efficiently but I understand why they do it
- School-Cotton 2y agoExpected by who? Plenty of big projects don’t have a discord.
