    Between Reddit and Discord I don’t know who did more damage. Forums were neat, especially because knowledge on it was permanent

      Yeah. I worry about how many things are moving into Discord. They are giving so much away for free right now that it stifling competition. Eventually they will need to turn a profit and, with competition reduced, they can get real shitty with it.

      I think that Discord’s way worse. Not only it centralizes information, but also presents it in a unreadable way, and hides it from Google.

      On Discord I never got a question answered. It just gets added to the list, then gets pushed out after a few seconds and it’s gone. It’s really bad. Imagine telling someone 10 years ago that most of discussion online would happen in private Skype group chats.

      On Reddit there at least was a chance someone would answer your question after a few days.
