      There is FOSS alternatives out there like Revolt or just plain old IRC which is good enough imo. The Discord bullshit is so annoying.

        All chat programs are shit for long term accumulation of knowledge. Discord, revolt, IRC, they’re all just as bad for it.

        Forums are where you’ll find people who are actual experts discussing because they want to be able to easily reference previous posts by other people.

        That’s not the point. The point is that pointing to Discord means that there simply is no documentation.

        one time, I asked and got a reply that it has been answered already, followed by a rant of why the hell people were asking the same question over and over again. IDK man, maybe you could update the installation instructions in your readme, then people wouldn’t be flodding discord with the same question over and over again.

        (it was regarding the project being incompatible with the newest version of a library and you had to manually install an older version to get it to work)
