Opinion: It's really not a good sign

IMO little of value would be lost with Discord. It’s mainly used like a live chat support, rather than a wiki. The actual source of knowledge is usually elsewhere.

The actual source of knowledge is usually elsewhere.

At least I certainly hope it would be.

Many communities have closed down their forums and moved over to Discord. Some information is really hard to find on Discord. I find it quite sad.

Plus discord’s forum piece is straight up garbage. Moving your entire platform to discord is as crazy as doing it to reddit honestly.

Many communities and projects have replaced their wiki’s with Discord and this model is being adopted by more and more communities.

Gone are wiki articles, which are replaced by live chat with a terrible search functionality and interface.
