    Of all places to host your community in, why Discord? Discord is not indexed by search engines. If you wrote a long, thought-provoking piece there (I’ve seen many people do it), it practically lost forever after the discussion move a few screens forward in a few hours. People from the future can’t benefit from what you wrote when they’re searching for similar topic in a search engine. The same can be said with Telegram and WhatsApp groups which are popular in certain communities.

      I agree; Discord is great for voice chatting, but I can’t follow conversations in there. Maybe I’m getting too old but it’s not a style that I think is a natural evolution from Reddit.

      Some might consider that to be a plus. For certain types of communication, that ephemeral nature is preferred.

        For some kinds of communication that ephemeral nature is desirable.

        But reddit is the archive for so much information; just prior to the blackouts I discovered that just adding site:reddit.com to the end of Google searches gave vastly better results than searching the entire web.

        Me. I just like to troll without having my trolling sounds indexed by every search engine to ever exist. Why does google have to know the content of all my shitty jokes?
