Discord is a black hole for information

Article note: I really, really hate the use of Discord or Slack for project management/ community help. It's everything bad about IRC, everything bad about in-house forums, none of the good parts of either, _and_ adds some new problems: Not publicly indexed. Not practically searchable. Inside some third party's proprietary silo. Somehow simultaneously super noisy _and_ super spread out. Accessible through a client that consumes more RAM than a reasonable operating system (or a browser tab in a modern heavyweight browser that does the same).
