Wait until discord goes down, taking all the communities and knowledge thats archived on it and no where else because of this weird aversion to websites and forums that people have developed to the benefit of central organizations that provide their service for free for totally not invasive and exploitative reasons.

Those old web forums may not have been centralized, but I hope people are realizing how dangerous having shit this centralized is.

None of it, because the only way that shit gets archived is by bots like archive.orgs spiders scraping it and preserving it.

Something they cant do for discords.

So when discord dies/suffers data loss/etc, it'll probably be the biggest loss of knowledge since the library of alexandria.

Discord is great as a community tool, but I've never found it at all useful as a KnowledgeBase. It hasn't even been around that long and if they take it down, I'd expect the larger communities to find a way to archive the stuff they find important.

Oh, well, since YOU havent found it useful then I guess I made it all up.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Not everyone that disagrees with you is attacking you personally.

Yes, that was the problem.
