Gregory's ServerThis sucks so much. I kept telling numerous people " #discord is NOT a forum, it is an IRC app, stop building your communities in it around stuff that needs to be found with a search engine and archived, it's a bad idea for numerous reasons including the overpopulation of server topics in an app that has a 100 server limit" but nobody listened. I hate being right.
We're about to have yet ANOTHER internet library of alexandria situation assuming this shit retroactively applies to existing stuff.
@WMan22 +9001%
To me it's absurd that people ever used #Discord when #Github, #Mumble, #IRC & Co. all predated it.
The sheer fact that their ToS are inacceptable and that they actively ban better 3rd party clients as well as #loginwall all content makes it useless for any #FLOSS projects.

@WMan22 I get that the internet finds its own uses for things, but building communities (especially tech support communities) around Discord just seems insane - it’s such a poor tool for those uses and far better alternatives exist.
How did Discord even become popular for this? Is it just gamers who wanted a Slack clone?
@WMan22@silversword.online But did they listen? Noooooooooo....
