    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.

    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?

      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.
