You can jf you join the discord and search lmao, but I already said that the issue is discoveraviloty outside of the discord environment so I’m not arguing that point.

It actually is, you’re just not connecting the dots.

The people use discord already to game and talk with buddies, developers of various apps/services then use it for similar and answering questions or troubleshooting issues in real-time.

Forums are archaic and difficult by comparison, don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the situation either, but I understand how and why we got to this place, and what would solve the problem is if that data was indexed in a way that search engines could use them, but because you have to have a discord account and join the server and have access to that particular section because of how discord is designed it is not really possible.

I actually freaurntly find helpful information in discord servers using search, but again, agree that it is not designed well for what its been forced into by network effect and convenience.

Edit: I’ll also point out forums aren’t permanent either lol, like 99% of forums I used to frequent are completely gone.

Actively troubleshooting an issue in discord is easier then making a forum post and going back and forth that way, which is why it has moved to discord organically.

“No good reason” homie you ever use a forum?

Discord is so much better for real time conversations. The biggest problem is to the point of this thread, discoverability is non-existent, you have to join the discord to be able to search for what you need.

Trying to point my friends towards matrix/element, they already started a teamspeak server instead though >. >

The biggest issue is it didn’t seem like matrix/element has streaming video in voice chat, we use that pretty heavily as we’ll play different games and just hang and talk several streaming at a time.

Idk if youve been living under a rock, but we have a facists government in power with direct ties to our tech oligarchs who have literally said they’re trying to harvest everyone’s data.

Its not a conspiracy, its just fact.

Look into Peter Thiel and Palantir, look into Epstein and his ties with Trump and the tech broligarchs, look into Cambridge Analytica and Meta, its really not difficult to see how all of this is coalescing to harvest all your data and use it for whatever they want across a gigantic database and while you might think it’s already hopeless that doesn’t mean you should make it even easier for them to do so.

“They already have your data bro, it’s fine just let them scan your face too bro, it’s all a third party really bro trust them.”

If you don’t think this is all a pretense to collect more data and sell it… All the way up to the govt enforcing these rules lmao

Chuffed to bits

Just realize Americans are not a homogeneous group, of course Google/Meta/MS/Oracle are all shitbag companies with leaders who support Trump, as far as I’m aware Gabe does not and has not contributed to rightwing government.

I understand the frustration and mistrust, I live here. But it’s important to realize that is a small minority of people no matter how much of an outsize influence their power and corruption has over all of us.

Israel is bad, but not all Israelis or Jews are, not supporting Israeli companies that are govt backed/ran by "ex"IDF makes sense, but companies that don’t shouldn’t be lumped in just because of that.

“You can’t have Americans in charge of major platforms.” Lmao what
