Over the last decade, Discord has become the de facto community space for gaming, and there are a lot of huge servers out there that you can find by scrolling through its public servers page. But starting on November 16, some messages in these huge servers will be viewable from Google.
This is because people are using Discord for something it was never intended for IMO. It’s just a gaming communication thingy, right? Shoot the shit in the chat, talk with voice while gaming. That’s how I learned it back in the day anyway.
I dunno what’s wrong with like a forum or something. I guess those need maintenance. But surely discord does too.
Yup. I hate that it’s used as a forum and message board and website and social media feed.
Really crowbarring those features in, still a decade later. And it’s still difficult because it’s inherently not such a platform, exactly!
