I don't know, but every fucking group's reliance on Discord pisses me off. I'm very much into modding my games, the problem is that every damn mod author wants to do support only on Discord, which means probably more than half of my 200 servers are just for that.

Man you said it. I despise discord. My gaming group will post things in the chat, and if you ever want to look at something again it's a pain in the ass to find it

yep. it's free and easy, and becoming the default. :|

Seriously. I don't mind it as a platform for socialising, but it's terrible as a support platform, and it goes against the idea of open and accessible information.

I really don't get how one is supposed to use more than one server. As in, how to spread one's attention to feel like one is present in so many places. It's a total non-starter for me.

Discord is a terrible platform for communities and for support, because it's one giant group chat and the messages scroll by. You really need a forum type environment for these types of things and while discord does have a forum format option, it's still really sucks and also gets little use on the count of how the rest of Discord is structured.
