1 year agoDiscord is not even remotely comparable and whoever think that it is (not saying you OP) don’t understand the basics on how internet works.
To put it simply:
You can’t search the content of a discord server on the publicly available internet. You need to be on discord and for that, the server need to continue to exists. To top it all, things you might search are written all over the place (channels, threads, etc) and the search is clearly the search is a “chat” search, as it should be, thus terrible to actually find what you need.
This is something I said even recently here but the general consensus is that “it’s fine”.
It’s incredible how much people tend to just dismiss a valid concern when it’s not an immediate threat to themselves.
