I don’t think there are many applications that I hate with more passion than discord and anybody who willingly chooses that garbage piece of software to further hide what used to be searchable forum content behind login walls and proprietary apis should be forced to search for a solution for a simple problem of their most beloved hobby all over hundreds of stupid discord channels for all eternity.
There are tools like Answer Overflow that try to make information on discord more easily discoverable from web searches.
Stop seeing Discord as a forum, it is an IRC clone
He didn’t say he sees it as a forum. He means what used to go on forums, and became information easily found via search engine, is now being put on Discord.
Never did. Doesn’t change the fact that a lot of forums are now deserted and have a pinned post that points to a fucking discord.
It should be an IRC clone. Having the voice and screen sharing is also kinda nice.
Instead it’s IRC + MSN messenger + Ventrilo + Skype + TeamViewer + MegaShare + Wiki + Game server hosting + Forum and probably a few more I’m forgetting, and adding more half-working bloat all the time.
Still very bad
@Fubarberry Man oh man do you fucking love to see #Linux finally getting official recognition from large companies. Thank the fuck outta you, #Valve and the #SteamDeck
not fubar, but where’s the discord repo?
Matrix has its prime time to shine. They could be rapidly adding parity and making it a great decentralized alternative.
It seems however they are busy not updating element x, breaking signing keys, splitting every existing service they have into 2, and not writing docs
Last month I started hosting a TeamSpeak 6 server, and it’s been great.
He better if it went away.
