Gregory's Server"You can check out the full change log on our Discord!"
Please, stop doing this. Don't put important info behind a closed login wall. It's ridiculous. You're just making it more difficult for everyone.

@peotr26 @gamingonlinux Agreed, community wikis are the way to do most things IMHO. Discord (and similar services, even FOSS ones) are very ephemeral and the search tool almost never works for me, it has actually gotten worse over time. @gamingonlinux even a public Google Doc or Office Document would be better for this than discord for this We opened a support Discord for helping users with our open source software Canโt say I donโt regret that as Iโm now trying to coerce people in said Discord to post their question in the public Github forum instead, because we keep having the same questions over and over and over @gamingonlinux even worse; Ubisoft got rid of their forums in favor of Discord, which is also incredibly confusing to use ๐ญ @gamingonlinux This. Discord is ok for discussions but horrible for documentation or storing any information that needs to be found later. @gamingonlinux Github, Forgejo, Gitea, Onedev and Gitlab ALL have spaces for this. Discord's moderation isn't a silver bullet for dealing with trolls and shit can literally be nuked for little to no reason. Bonus points for them adding ads soon as well.  @olenglishD @gamingonlinux The shady company arbitrarily deciding to nuke servers for shady reasons is the main reason I would never use it - I couldn't guarantee my conversations would still be there tomorrow. @gamingonlinux Almost as if theyโre doing it on purpose to pump their Discord numbersโฆ @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux Same for the Chinese users who uses Baidu Drive for downloads and storage of manuals... * Baidu Drive (pan dot baidu dot com) requires a Baidu account to download.  @gamingonlinux This can be provided by a VCS and could also be provided in a single plain text file. How is Discord even a medium for this? It stores links to text files? Or is the changelog the message history? @gamingonlinux i don't use discord (for reasons i do not want to talk about) and whenever it tells me that i have to enter the discord for something they could just put in a website or mediafire it FUCKING RUNS ME UP THE GOD DAMN WALL... I DONT WANT TO USE THAT FUCKING PLATFORM!!!  @gamingonlinux and that needing phone number just so you can interact, i hate when servers does this.  @gamingonlinux Patch notes also not providing comprehensive insight on changes (which Discord are also guilty of, only really updating their change-logs to highlight features they want to advertise... ๐) is also a massive pain, because it difficult to track timeframes when issues are introduced, and when they've been resolved... especially so without a change-log history...  @gamingonlinux especially when they post that in a field that was basically meant for the full changelog. @gamingonlinux If you are interested in cryptocurrency checkout fintech exchange with the links below to invest in bitcoin/ real estate for weekly profits ( Roi) |
@gamingonlinux Also, Discord is horrible to store this kind of information as his any similar services. Use the right tools.
