    I’m sort of tired of articles describing some catastrophe that happened ten years ago and saying “it’s worrying.”

      Agreed, this article would have made sense in 2020 or earlier.

      And now we have the fediverse, which is causing a resurgence of content that is independent of Reddit or Discord.

    Ugh, Discord is an information black hole. I despise how so many of my niches have fled there.

    Reddit seems to be trying to destroy that “role” of theirs as hard as they can though. A few very niche subs I follow are drying from some kind of “bug” that deprioritizes their discoverability.

    It’s not a bug. It’s absolutely a feature for making Reddit more generic, farmable garbage and noise.

    Yeah I remember voicing this concern when all online communities seemed to be going to discord and people seemed to mainly laugh at me in response at the time.

    Fuck Discord

      Companies putting their stuff into discord is like all the businesses that ditched a dedicated website and moved to facebook however many years ago. Yay, now it is on a format that doesn’t work well for presenting static information and will inevitably require account registration!

        Newest iteration of “this meeting could have been an email” has become “this Discord could have been a wiki”.
