Since when is Discord a proper place to get information? On larger servers, anything you type is gone forever after an hour due to the volume of messages.

When I don't find information through a search engine, I go asking it from people themselves.

Discord is an easy solution for me to find this information at that point. Much easier than generating yet another user account in a website I might use once in my life, while I already use discord a lot.
By the way - you can search for messages you have sent and for messages that were pointed directly to you. Makes delving into old conversations much easier.

Of course Telegram and other services like that can help too.
