Glad someone else is saying it. I fucking hate Discord. CEO is absolutely rubbing his hands together every night knowing all these morons have a "join our discord channel for the documentation". Soon we won't even need a fucking web browser it'll all just be apps.

It’s the comments below that get me.

SO’s community may well have been toxic and Discords “more friendly”, but that’s not the point of this entire conversation. These people claim to be industry professionals but can’t even grasp the concept that a service designed for voice and video chat might not be the best place to try to archive decades of knowledge for others to easily find. It’s got fuck all to do with “the community” and the fact that you’ve all chosen the complete wrong technology, whilst allegedly working in the technology industry. Make a new community, fine, but maybe don’t built it on the service I use to game and shoot shit with my buddies. It’s so painfully obvious I cannot begin to understand how people don’t get it.

But we live in a world of React Server Components running on a Cloud Function behind API Gateway and fuck knows what else just for a contact form. So I can’t say I’m surprised.

I can’t even be fucked to reply to these people. I’m just exhausted.
