Stop. Putting. Important. Info. In. Discord.

Put it on the actual web, where it is searchable.

"I know let's host files and important info on a proprietary chat platform that requires logins and isn't searchable outside it, what could possible go wrong?"

Uh, everything. Stop it.

@mediapathic @FrazzledWings

I think it is a bit like a wiki.

Or, to be more precise: A company wiki:
The place where all important general info goes, never to be seen again.

@gamingonlinux I don't know why people don't understand that different software have different use. Yes we can share things on Discord but the goal is sharing/chatting in short term.

@gamingonlinux It's barely searchable within it.

@terenc3 @gamingonlinux Hm, you could always do those with microblogs, but this depends on what level of data ownership you prefer.
