    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.

      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?

      Also – unless I am missing something here, with Discord you are seeing posts in a strictly chronological order. Yes, you can like and react to posts, but that won’t bubble and auto-curate great content to the top. I was once in a very popular Discord and the amount of random posts filling up the feed made me leave it after some time.

        Discord has a built in forum like interface, it’s quite decent - but as others have said, it’s not indexed by google and thus pretty useless for newcomers.

          Oh it does? And with those forums you can vote content up to make them more visible? I thought it was just an endless stream in various channels.

        It does have a feature now that kind of works like a forum. If you go to one of these channels it shows a list of posts, and each post can be commented on separately. But that’s it, it doesn’t even come close to reddit or lemmy.

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