    Yeah, to be truly useful, a community needs to be googleable. And discord is certainly not that.

      That, and the conversations move far faster there. Any remark about anything moves the subject further up, and you’re essentially subjected to reading the comments section of the entire sub all at once when you just came for the memes.

      Holding a conversation in such a large place would be near impossible from experience, no matter how many channels there are. It’s just not going to be pleasant because it’s not made for what they want to do.

        Discord has threads now, works just like Reddit.

        You can create a thread and people can comment on them just fine.

            Yeah, discords a mess. Its a fine voice chat app, but for everything else, its like using a phillips screwdriver on a flat head. Yeah, you can probably muscle it out, but it aint gonna be pretty and theres better ways to do it.

          Fair point. I keep forgetting that’s a thing, because I’ve genuinely never seen anyone ever use it aside from one single time just to see what it did/harass another user. And then immediately everyone went, “Huh. Neat,” and lost interest.
