This Discord could have been a Wiki
@george or an ftp server!
@huxley @george this ftp server could've been a telnet
@george "you know what the OG federation was? Web-rings."
@george I preferred forums (not Reddit tho) - you could easily scan topics and read in chronological order. Discord is a myriad of channels that each need to be read all the way through - I belong to many discords and rarely go there, too much to weed through.
@george This IP over Frame Relay could have been a smoke signal!

@george

that would have been so much better

@george not could, *should*. I hate that an unsearchable, moving discord server has replaced old phpBB & wiki systems for trying to get info
@george Discord is the shittier version of Usenet, IRC, phpBB (and similar) forums, and specialized wikis.

@george I explicitly refuse to use and consider any #FLOSS or #CCSS that does essential stuff like #IssueTracking and #documentation on #Discord.

Because Discord is a shitty app made for and by problematic people.

And unlike a lot of bad CCSS they can't even be botherered to setup a proper #repo for #Updates and literally expect users to download and install a #deb package based off a #popup.

So yeah.
It's trash.

@george As shitty and numerous the issues with #MicrosoftTeams, #VScode, #Zoom, #Slack and other #CCSS are, they all get their absolute basics done and do proper #Updates via #repositories - AS SHOULD BE MANDATORY ON EVERY #LINUX DISTRO!

After all, corporate users may remotely maintain and/or update their systems using said repos with orchestration and managment tools like #CanonicalLandscape and mirroring said repos inhouse to save up bandwith and storage capacity needed.

@george but not a fandom wiki, for the love of god
@george I geniunely wanna write hate letters to people who use Discord as a wiki system. You can't make documentation more unbearable to index, reach and read than using discord.
