Are Internet boards and Forums dead
(lemm.ee)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Discord is pretty much the worst thing that happened to readily available information on the internet (when it comes to games and tech in general at least). No, I don’t wanna join your very specific niche server and use a search function worse than any forum back in the days had in hope to find the information I want.
Also Google got way worse, but that‘s no secret.
I love Discord for gaming with friends. I don't mind some programs using it for releasing things. Like I play Session(skateboarding sim) a decent amount. It's usually used for people throwing up custom maps and mods.
But anytime people talk about going to a discord to really discuss things and keep up with them, I'm just gonna move on.
Discord is just not suitable for any group larger than a WoW guild. I don't understand why anyone would ever think it's a good idea for software/mod projects. Anything that needs to be searched should not be on discord
