Agree :) Consensus in the development community seems to be "Everything should be in Discord/Slack/Teams", so moving towards what you mention would be great.

That certainly does sound like an issue, but I cannot say I've ever experienced it myself, maybe I've been lucky. At "worst", sometimes there is one tool for private/internal use, but for public community, Discord would be chosen, for example. But never "We're using both Slack and Teams internally", that'd be crazy.
The number of times a development community I want to join is exclusively on Discord though, instead of a public forum, is something I constantly encounter.
- anthk 2y agoDiscord it's a turd. It's a silo. And, if Discord deletes a group, good luck backing up your data. Gone. Forever.
- Sohcahtoa82 2y agoPeople are pushing Discord to be something it's not. Discord is a replacement for IRC and Ventrilo/Teamspeak/Mumble. It's NOT a replacement for forums or subreddits, no matter how much people try to push it as one. Yeah, you can't easily back up all your discussions, but most people weren't doing that with IRC anyways.
