Sometimes Discord is still pretty helpful with real-time support. It indeed has its flaws, but some of the best real time help is still given there. I love the C++ discord, it's just filled with gems.

>it's just filled with gems

gems not sorted or indexed at all gated behind a account requiring personal information to just view them.

Luckily that’s a solved, or trivially-solved problem now.
how?
Select All -> Paste into local or cloud LLM -> Ask question
even if the LLM was directly trained on discord it still would not be the same and never will
The same as what?

A permalink is a permalink, whether I found it in 5 minutes to an hour,

or the robot found it in 5 seconds.

Discord is handy for real-time support as a user, but because those support questions don't become a body of searchable public knowledge over time, they are all doomed. The maintainers will burn out from the endless basic questions.
