"I know let's host files and important info on a proprietary chat platform that requires logins and isn't searchable outside it, what could possible go wrong?"

Uh, everything. Stop it.

@FrazzledWings That sentence is going in my tech writing notes to use on clients. Thank you.

I think it is a bit like a wiki.

Or, to be more precise: A company wiki:
The place where all important general info goes, never to be seen again.

@gamingonlinux "But Discord is servers, right? And servers are internet, correct? I don't see the problem."

@Legit_Spaghetti
Originally their severs were called guilds and I don't understand why they dropped that name. Especially because the API still does and now they use both at the same time.

@shadowwwind @Legit_Spaghetti @gamingonlinux No-no, that's pretty intentional. You need to see through the veil of marketing: they called them "servers" to give users the false sense of ownership.

@gamingonlinux It is barely searchable when you have an account.

@gamingonlinux I don't know why people don't understand that different software have different use. Yes we can share things on Discord but the goal is sharing/chatting in short term.

@gamingonlinux you say "outside it" as if searching for anything _inside_ it didn't totally suck

@gamingonlinux Discord is not a blogging platform where I can publish my indie game development progress? Ugh do i have to build a actual websiteโ€ฆ

@terenc3 @gamingonlinux Hm, you could always do those with microblogs, but this depends on what level of data ownership you prefer.
