Gregory's ServerI'm often working through tracking an issue from an application layer all the way down to the kernel and some old big in malloc that makes things weird. I should be able to use a search engine to get to the different bits of correlated information. Some apps have a discord only knowledgebase and I have to sacrifice anonymity to join a server, do their onboarding, search through things, find a linked bugzilla ticket that is closer to what I'm looking for, then leave the server to get rid of the clutter, then go from there. Usually I'll bounce through some mailing lists, some GitHub discussions, a code review with a discussion on a specific chunk of code, then more mailing lists, a detour to Wikipedia to confirm something, etc. Along this journey, I don't have to sign up for anything other than those walled gardens of discord/slack. I don't really want a future where I'm hopping between several proprietary apps to find a chain of discussions for *open-source* projects.

Don't get me wrong, I use discord for lots of things. Discord is not a good knowledgebase, and I resent the projects that use it like one. Not to mention how many pings come at me during the brief stints in some of those "support" servers.
