    It worries me that all those communities moving to Discord will one day suffer though all this all over again, once Discord enshittifies and drives them out. Relying on a closed, proprietary and centralized service for user-generated content is a bad idea, as we all learned already.

      It will probably happen soon also. :/ The global economic situation that drove Reddit and Twitter to desperation applies to everyone else also.

      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.

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

          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?

    LOL… the link they have for the 3D Printing community is just some guy posting “Balls” over and over again… Not so sure they got that one right.

    Edit: Also… the expanse sub moving to discord is big sad… Wish they’d recreate that sub somewhere on the fediverse instead…
