Rant about Discord eating the open internet
Discord is a communication tool. It's for chatting and voice calls during gaming sessions with friends, like TeamSpeak before it. That's its main use-case!
Using it for anything more than that is just you making things harder for yourself and everyone else
Everything you do on Discord is invisible to the open internet and not crawlable by search engines and thus not discoverable to anyone not joined on your server
It's going against everything that makes the internet itself useful in the first place: free flow of information

I hate this trend of everything needing to be on fucking #Discord
Fuck your little private treehouse club that’s badly managed and barren because you learned the hard way community management is a full-time job too much to handle for a single person
Use better, open tools ffs

Wikis are useful because it's open to everyone
GitHub/GitLab is useful because it allows everyone to view what the code does, what issues are already reported and provide fixes
NexusMods is useful as a one-stop-shop for every mod for every game ever
Discord is none of that

My headphones broke last week (I'm suspecting frayed enamel wiring between the ANC power and signal in one ear), a friend ordered me a new set as a gift, and as a bonus, the airplane adapter that came with it is the precise thing I need to replace a broken jack on a lapel mic my old roommates left behind so I can use it as a way to record and maybe amplify my classical guitar for experimental purposes? Hmmm
At times I feel like understanding #parody is a lost art. A running #pinball joke for loose coil wires has been "it should be wireless so this won't happen". As a gag I cut of the wire lugs from a dead coil and printed a custom Bluetooth wrapper for it. I posted that on social media.
The amount of "it can't work", "scam!" and calling me incompetent and/or stupid was just unbelievable. Some took time to explain why this can't possibly work. All this after all the PCB repair work I've posted.

Someone made a live action version of the opening scenes of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. VFX are a bit rough, but it captures the spirit of the original, I'd say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC4rfauJKPc
