It's a fucking black hole for information. I hate that they don't direct people to at least GitHub issues or GitHub discussions.
Even worse are the people that have an open GitHub repo for their project and then tell you to go seek help on discord when you open a GitHub issue.
Its worse, it is basically temporary information archives that can disappear at any time, plus security BS. There is going to a 10 year gap of lost information when Discord goes away/becomes unusable. Forums last forever, I have a backup for one that nobody has used in 10 years, that information could never be lost.
