It's a tradeoff. The platform is a closed-source silo.
But for a lot of people, it works really well.
I avoided it until eventually one community made me want to be a member.
Those who dislike Discord in that community set up relay bots.
> Community questions and answers need to be readable and searchable without yet another login.
This is a big tragedy that any technical community will suffer from long-term for choosing Discord:
They may cultivate a community, but they will not grow their garden of knowledge.
But to have your resources and attention spread too thin can be devastating, too.
Only huge projects can afford to have multiple Discords, Telegrams, IRCs, Wikis, and not worry too much about the overflow and redundancy.
Small projects like Odin must focus on having a few high-traffic places.
