Documentation is different from technical support and neither should be done on Discord.

Firstly, discord is entirely the wrong medium for documentation.

Secondly, documentation should be at least as accessible as the code. That is to say, if I can view the code without creating an account for some service, then I should also be able to read the documentation too.

Documentation is bad enough. But it's worse when that's the only channel to get support. I once read a project maintainer boast that they never read the bug reports and issues on github and if anyone had a bug to just chat him up discord. I mean, dude, no wonder nobody uses your software or takes it seriously. Much less want to collaborate on the development.

One of the stupidest trends of all time.

There is FOSS alternatives out there like Revolt or just plain old IRC which is good enough imo. The Discord bullshit is so annoying.

All chat programs are shit for long term accumulation of knowledge. Discord, revolt, IRC, they're all just as bad for it.

Forums are where you'll find people who are actual experts discussing because they want to be able to easily reference previous posts by other people.
