    Discord is a disjointed mess that is being abused by many to fill a role it was never designed to fill.

    No, I don’t want to join your discord to use a half assed search to be able to dig my way through what you think is an FAQ about your game.

      I’m always frustrated when a game or service says to check out their Discord for information. Discord is a confusing mess of chat channels, and while it can certainly be useful in (near-)realtime interactions, I can’t imagine trying to look up longer-lived information, like what they’re trying to use it for. Make a forum, or a blog, or use a subreddit, but not Discord.

      I think the most recent case of this was the game Terra Invicta, where I saw a tangential reference somewhere to some coming updates to the game, and a game rep said to check their Discord for more details. No thanks.
