Given that Discord is a wholly proprietary, gated service that isn't
searchable/accessible outside of specific corporate-mandated clients, I think
the newsgroup is a welcome relief from the knowledge black holes that so many
projects pour all their community resources into.

The web already has a very effective technology for conveying information that's
been working for decades: HTML. Which on that note I'll bet the record of this
thread will easily outlast anything happening in those flashy fiefdoms people
seem so quick to embrace. ;)
