Discord being a black hole for information is a feature, not a bug. It's for in the moment communication with some asynchronous applicability. But if you use it as your primary source for community-created information, you're usin

"Don't use some of the most popular sites on the internet if shifting around during loading is annoying to you." isn't very productive advice.
