Perhaps this is not a technology problem, but a people problem? Of course forum mods are going to be overly invested into the topic and might be a bit pedantic, but Reddit also has mods, they're also oft terrible. So why is one dying while the other is doing rather well?
I agree that Discord is a terrible gated community that is horrible for searchability. But there has to be something about these platforms why the people prefer them.
- RGamma 2y agoA war is (and has been for quite some time) raging between commercial and cultural ideals of the internet. This is just another battle as various parties renegotiate the front line. Gated communities are a necessary evil in a world where you share a common medium with your enemies. Unluckily I tend to find out about some only as they close down (like what.cd). And regarding Discord: Nothing is hidden from the platform owners. When the line doesn't go up as desired, the tides may turn yet again.
