This is the argument that most of these comments are making. But Discord isn't supposed to replace a bug tracker or documentation. It's supposed to replace IRC or a mailing list.

The Linux kernel-dev mail list archives might technically be accessibly by anyone, but they're still not going to come up in a web search. And IRC history isn't stored at all.

And if you really need some piece of information in the Discord server, you can join the Discord server and search for it, all you need is an email.

I've been using Discord for a couple of years and greatly prefer it to forums or IRC.
