Gregory's Server

@mateusrodcosta To be honest, who in their right mind, when they want to know about something, uses Discord as a search engine? I mean, first you have to guess that the information you are looking for will be in X Discord server.  Imagine directing people to Discord, of all fora, during the height of the Great Enshittification. @CleoMenezesJr I refuse to join Discord for answering my question. I can live without knowing what is the answer. @mnls Exactly!! It's like the time when to download something you had to enter your email to receive it through it.  @BoredomFestival I didn't want to be so controversial, but since you said it, I can only agree. 😆  @CleoMenezesJr I've always hated trying to search for old answers to the question I'm having but I just realized why it's especially bad: extraneous conversation, but moreso: no ability to search for _topics_ instead of posts, in relative terms. It's such a quagmire to filter through. SOMETIMES I find an answer, but most of the time, I do not. @CleoMenezesJr I have also seen computer games where the bug reports are apparently done via Discord. It’s not the method I’d like to use to report a bug, but especially not one I’d want to read for bug reports. I hope they have even a Jira where they enter the tickets. @pare I was using a launcher for Android and saw that the bug report was happening through Discord too. This discouraged me so much that I stopped using it.  @kranzkrone @IzzyOnDroid Good idea, my bug report from now on, will be a group on WhatsApp. 🤣️  @CleoMenezesJr in the long run, if your question wasn’t answered in a searchable, discoverable, archived manner, it wasn't answered at all. And it will be asked again, and again, and again ... it is to the benefit of *everyone* involved (especially those with limited time and attention to provide answers!) that questions be answered in a way that encourages searching for answers first. @CleoMenezesJr @codinghorror this is also my problem with Slack (Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge)  @CleoMenezesJr For the love of god, stop using Microsoft GitHub for any open Source Project. Better use free and open source platforms like #Codeberg #Forgejo @rastilin Hate github but embrace discord doesn't seems a game chance. Hahaa I was shocked too. But apparently being owned by Microsoft means github is automatically evil. @CleoMenezesJr I don't see how this in any way Discord fault. But maybe I'm missing something? Is there like a marketing campaign or incentive or something? |
@CleoMenezesJr Not like people would have searched outside of Discord (or even inside the Discord history anyway).
