I don’t get how discord is supposed to replace forums… it’s a chat room. It’s incredibly hard to use it as a comprehensive info resource. You have to read everything backwards, as part of some never ending conversation… it’s great for real time coordination, and as a chat room/community hub, by my god the notifications alone And the settings to get them to stop are mind boggling.
Many of my favorite podcasts and niche hobbies have had their forums turn into Discords. Absolutely impossible to look at discussion on old topics and episodes. I don't have the free time to be in the here and now on every topic I want grrrrrrr
