Fuck Discord.

It's great for what it's intended for, a gaming voice/text chat server.

To be fair, a discord comment from five years ago is still more helpful than Amazon AWS's actual documentation.

Hate this so much, very much into 3d printing (voron right now) and huge parts of the community are on discord it's just an absolute pain to use

Annex engineering requires phone number verification to enter their discord. Fuck that.

Totally agree, please let the doc be doc, not a chat.

PS: what were the original subtitles of the screenshot? :)

I see a lot of things that have a discord community.

Why is this? Is it a way for someone. To earn extra money? Or do they just like that platform?

It's free*, insanely easy to set up, you don't have to worry about port forwarding or ddos or hosting fees, has powerful moderation tools, and there's a plethora of easy to deploy bots that help manage permissions and automate routine tasks. Literally, if it had a proper web-accessible forum similar to phpBB, it would be perfect.

Basically the same reasons subreddits supplanted forums.
