I don't care if people use Discord to talk, it's only when that's where the documentation, faq, etc. is.

I do care about people using discord to talk when it’s the only place to talk and there’s 300 conversations on top of each other and 15000 messages/day. Also, Discord sucks for finding out who’s responding to you and its window seems to grab a random point in the chat and say “new messages”. I mean, I might have been 2000 messages behind but now I gotta scan them all to see if anybody actually responded.

I would take a busy forum any day.

Discord has threads and forums now. Most servers aren't going to that many messages. I don't think it is a real problem in the context of floss projects.

Until discord makes their search bearable to use, I would still rather use an actual forum over discord. It's so irritating when I have to perform multiple searches to look up conversations people had on a topic because the stupid search function takes word order into consideration for what messages to show you. And since discord servers aren't open to search engines, those can't be used to alleviate that issue.

There's also no easy way to narrow searches without memorizing their syntax, which of course they do not link to or make easy to find

Also on mobile it doesn't let you type the syntax.

Using DuckDuckGo and searching for „Discord Search“ or „Discord Search Syntax“ makes this official help website appear in the top results, even as first. Also the syntax is shown when using the search.
