I have been in forums my whole life and discord is far from them, discord is just a chat akin to irc. Forums and IRC worked together very well, when I was moderating a huge gaming community we had several IRC channels for those who wanted live participation.

It's impossible to follow a discussion in discord because when you arrive it may be over and they are talking about something else, that doesn't happen in a forum you can just post and add your take. And managing knowledge is easier in a forum, I can still find my 15 year old replies, or access all the news I created back when I was a mod.

Discourse != Discord. He said Discourse.

Discourse: https://www.discourse.org/ <- a modern-looking old school forum thing

Discord: https://discord.com/ <- a modern-looking chat thing

My bad.

Note to self: wake up before replying.

I fully agree with you (and IMO it's just as bad with Slack which people love to use in corporate contexts), see my comment here[0].

I think you may have misread my earlier comment, it says "Discourse" (as in the forum software[1]), not Discord.

Yeah I did misread it.
