Amongst many other reasons, my biggest is it's not searchable by search engines.

If someone else is having the same problem as me with some software, and someone else has figured it out, it should show up on the first page of a Google search regarding it.

If it doesn't, the tool the community is using is entirely unfit for purpose.

Open source communities should be all about tearing down walled gardens, not living in them.

that makes sense, thank you for explaining

You are right, when I was trying to get acquainted with Gentoo for instance, I found most of my problems solved in a forum or wiki, if they had discord I wouldn’t have gotten nowhere probably and would’ve just ditched it
