It's always a little disappointing to see a forum start promoting a discord server. Splitting the community rarely works and results in a worse experience for both groups.

Personally, I hate Discord. I always miss where I got a notifcation for a post. The velocity of content is too high. It's hard to search for content.

I hate discord for its threading, spaminess, and now its weirdness with multiple identities. It's also hard to sign up for without them deciding that you are a bot and arbitrarily banning you.

Discord is like a graveyard. People don't really talk after the first day. Maybe they should switch from chat to forums, at least let it be searchable through Google

You are on the wrong servers

But hey I had the same experience on “traditional” forums > make new post > wait for days > never ger a reply

I like reddit and Discord much better because you get answers much much quicker
